George,
If you have links to that report please post it. Because Amazon, The
Department of Justise, IDC and serveral small biz have *all* shown
savings of 10's of thousands of dollars in TCO (millions for Amazon).
That's why the NSA and Intel has taken hard looks at converting. And I
can assure you right now IBM is NOT pushing Windoze. They still support
it true but All of their sales agents have been told to spread the word
about Linux.
