Seeing through the Linux-Windows TCO comparisons (LinuxWorld)
Joe Barr revisits
IDC's Total Cost of Ownership study in this LinuxWorld article.
"When you read about a TCO study in the press these days, you're not
reading news. You're reading marketing material. More likely than not,
you're reading a report sponsored by the vendor. If the comparison is
against products from another vendor, the sponsor is the one whose ox was
not gored. The recent IDC report proclaiming that Windows is cheaper (in
some cases) than Linux is an excellent example."
