Story: Battle continues over true cost of Linux

the issue is not Windows TCO as it is about resource availabilty. The TCO is lower for windows because the available resource pool (more supply and availability thereby lowering fees) and possible learning curve for ms products are lower. However, linux's only draw back is apps. Once critical mass is reached this issue will be a thing of the past. TCO IS much lower for linux because no one can run their apps on it and it thus is used for limited tasks.
