This article actually seems very positive to Linux. You have a lot of quotes from pundits about how expensive Linux is. These are balanced against a lot of quotes from users about how inexpensive Linux is. Microsoft asks who will support your Linux installation. The GSA replies, Red Hat, but we're probably not going to need it after this year.

The real cost of open source (FCW) Posted Nov 22, 2004 22:06 UTC (Mon) by simon_kitching (guest, #4874) [Link] Yes, I feel it was a linux-positive article too. In fact I wonder whether the author was subtly sticking the knife into linux critics. As iabervon says, each pompous statement by 'analysts' and PR staff of the proprietory software industry is *immediately* rebutted in direct and unambiguous language by quotes from people with actual experience. It makes DiDio et. al. look plain silly to me...
