Amazon: Linux Saved Us Millions

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

Ian_Bailey writes: "ZDNet news presents another chapter in the Windows vs. Linux debate. Amazon.com claims that by switching to Linux, they were able to "cut technology expenses by about 25 percent, from $71 million to $54 million."" Lots of little bits in there. Nothing really new, but it's still nice.

    It was rejected within just a couple of minutes of submission, yet a nearly identical submission makes it to the front page today. This is why I don't bother to post stories to /. -- the maintainers are troglodytes with no idea whether something is newsworthy, or what anyone else in their organization is doing. If this is how day-to-day operations in the rest of VA are conducted it's no wonder they're going down the tubes.
