Wintel versus Mainframe?

Of course it'll cost less. When you're dropping a million on new mainframe hardware (ram, drives, virtualization software), no amount of Windows licenses & MCSE's can overcome that kind of cost on a single, dual processor Intel box.

Do you believe that a single, dual xeon with one Windows OS instance can really outperform a single, dual z900 with 96 Linux OS instances? If so, I've got a bridge to sell you...
