"The main reason is cost," It would be interesting to know what alternative there was if the reason was not cost.
I have a feeling it would be Linux as the OS anyway, but what about the harware. I suppose any hardware but x86.
Thus the sentece "You don't have to pay per machine" makes no sence. Or did I miss something. Anyway the decision to use Linux was made about -99.
