Microsoft products are perhaps more "convienent",which is one large security flaw. When I first started using Linux, I had to get used to root passwords, and account passwords(very annoying). I do confess however that I do not miss having my virus program(Windows XP) telling me it has detected a virus and then my PC crashing anyway. I don't miss the constant nagging of windows popping up messages that insults my intelligence. TCO I cannot comment on. With Linux I have found that the TPM(Total Peace of Mind) during the mydoom attacks and other attacks too numerous to remember when my co-workers had down PC's(lost revenue) they were relieved to learn I still had uncorrupted data on that "strange system I use". I feel with the fast progress Linux is making, Microsoft is uneasy.
