Cybersource's TCO study

Cybersource has published a new total cost of ownership study (PDF) comparing Windows and Linux deployments. Despite having given several advantages to Windows, the study concludes that switching to Linux is 36% cheaper if existing hardware is used, and 26% cheaper if new hardware is part of the switch. The savings are less (but still significant) if the Red Hat Enterprise products (and associated support contracts) are purchased.
