Oh, but haven't you heard-- Windows 2000's TCO is lower than Linux'. IDC
did an unbiased, Microsoft-sponsored study to prove it:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,741748,00.asp. The study is chock full
of hard-core research data like anecdotes, opinions and hearsay. I have
already uninstalled Linux from all of my servers and installed
fully-licensed copies of Windows 2000. I'm reaping the cost savings
already! Thank goodness I read this research before it was too late!!
