Depends how you configure your infrastructure

The point being made is that they will go from their current setup which is expensive to maintain to another setup with an equal amount of linux which will be less expensive to maintain. They don't say that Linux can't be cheaper than Windows, they say their current configuration currently isn't cheaper than Windows. Costs of ownership can be driven up by lack of training, lack of standardization, lack of automation, lack of administrative tools, etc. and those same factors can drive up Windows total cost of ownership as well.
