Merrill Lynch: Linux will save millions (ZDNet)
ZDNet reports on an internal study at Merrill Lynch (a large U.S. brokerage firm) showing that large amounts of money could be saved by moving over to Linux.
"In fact, [Merrill VP Mark] Snodgrass found that, while the software licensing costs of Windows was higher than Linux, the highest cost was in managing traditional Windows infrastructure."

Hutton"?Merill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith ads were always "bull in a china shop". It was E.F. Hutton that did "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen".

Anybody in California reading this? Posted Jun 9, 2003 19:30 UTC (Mon) by Odysseus (guest, #11518) [Link] Couldn't California residents use the California false-advertising laws to take MS to court over any anti-Linux propaganda they churn out, in print or on site, using articles such as this one to support the case?(This is the same law that's now at the US Supreme court, but most of the law is not in question. What's being questioned by the Supremes is whether the law applies to press releases, interviews and other non-product-related speech.)
Merrill Lynch: Linux will save millions (ZDNet) Posted Jun 10, 2003 11:53 UTC (Tue) by DaveK (subscriber, #2531) [Link] It is interesting to note that 'real world' users are finding Linux cheaper, not only to buy (as its free - its usual great selling point), but now also cheaper to manage too - contrary to the regular stream of FUD from Redmond.
