Wow, that article is from 2003 and already it sounds like another world.

One 2003-era CIO said "[our supplier forced us to switch to Linux and] we found we had an additional overhead in understanding the technology and the total cost of ownership has risen." He was obviously influenced by those old "total cost of ownership" ads from Microsoft. You don't hear MS banging on about TCO these days do you?
