Yes lets look at the cost of ownership
ignore the $500 or $450 . The real cost
of ownership is down time, time I spend
looking at the BSOD which cost money
now on average NT goes down at least
once every other day, Generally I lose
the last 20 minutes work so say a round
40 minutes at $75 per hour 220 working days
per year thats $5500 per workstation per year
now a good UNIX sysadmin may cost you $50K more
than your NT admin types but if you have more
then 10 Boxes then It pays to go Linux
