Win2k Cheaper than Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-just-like-your-opinion-man dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to this story, Win2k costs an average of 11%-22% total cost of enterprise. The study showed that the initial investment takes up less than 5% of the total cost. Linux did beat Win2k in one category, Web-serving." Man did this thing get submitted a lot.

    but the up front is trivial in the true cost of ownership, it takes a much smaller number of admins to maintain and grow an existing *nix network.
