Story: Battle continues over true cost of Linux
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 7 April 2005, 5:55 PM)
I'd really like to see a report of TCO including the commercial Unix platforms: namely Sun, HP-UX, and AIX. Also, while an application may not have a native Linux version, the app probably runs under Wine, so nothing would need to be ported. TCO is also a bit of a red herring, as the real question is the return on investment (ROI). If screwdriver A costs $1 and its ROI is $4, and screwdriver B costs $2 and its ROI is $25, which is better?
