Microsoft's changing tune on Linux (News.com)
We don't compete in local economies for services business, so those
dollars stay in that economy. We did a study and found that, on average, for
every dollar that goes to Microsoft, nine dollars go to the local economy.
And we think that's a very impressive ratio
In other words, "The total cost of deploying Windows is ten times as much as the software cost/licence fees alone". Is this figure consistent with the TCO surveys they report on?
