Windows Cheaper When Studied by MSFT Analysts
richdun writes "Here is a study done by an independent research firm which claims that under certain circumstances, it is cheaper to develop applications and enterprise solutions for Windows than for Linux. They cite costs from more education, time developing, etc. Of course, the story is quick to state that the whole study was funded and commissioned by our favorite Redmond, WA based software giant. "
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!
Windows will NEVER be cheaper than Linux or FreeBSD.

Although I'm not a Windows fan, I actually could believe this, until I read this part:
"Last December, Microsoft released a study that showed that Windows-based servers were cheaper to run than those on Linux in four out of five common server tasks."
You just got to love studies funded by non-biased companies!
RTFA you stupid nigger, they are talking about developing applications not using it you cock-sucking monkey dong eating whore.
Thank you for the insight, now please go find a nice tall bridge to dive off and kill yourself.
You obviously never purchased MS development tools.

Need I say more, I downloaded my gentoo from the web for free, compiled it on my SMP machine I built myself, cheaper than an OEM box with the M$ Tax. And I have all the software I could possibly want including industry standard tools such as FilmGIMP and Blender, and Industry standard web services such as Apache, MySQL, PHP and much much more. All this cost me diddley squat cept the price of a blank CD and the Machine I built.
...
And even IF SCO are right and I had to pay the SCO tax,
jsut pricing up the rest of the tools, I would require on a windoze box... Win2003 enterprise $4000 (includes many of the features that are standard on a linux distro, DHCP server DNS server "Command Line Interface scripting" remote admin etc. Then add the cost of office software, ooh shit, I've gone over budget, even with the illegal SCO Tax
nick (dont take this too seriously its a bit over the top but do a feature for feature comparison and you will see that Linux is actually a considerable amount cheaper)

If you don't like the biased article, why post it Taco?
-1 Flamebait for you.
Of course noone bats an eye when sweet-as-honey Apple starts spewing bullshit about how their computers are "faster than light".
BTW, I agree with the studies findings, if only for the fact that you dont have to choose between 900,000 incomplete and partially functional APIs and libraries, and research moronic licensing terms. Hippies should be planting flowers and chasing rainbows, not writing software licenses.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
I'm sure if a study came out by [favorite open source entity] citing the same general claim about Linux and open source developement, /. would have no questions, only praise. So each camp brings its own version/view of the evidence to the table - nothing new about that.
The point being, these studies are generic (at best) - every application, developement team, and environment is different. Some individuals will naturally take more time with certain elements than others (thus, they might be percieved to cost more). Some applications will be made better than others - and it's hard to put that into numbers exactly.
Sometimes there is a viable and cost-saving commerical solution.

If you or anyone you know exhibits these signs they may be a homosexual and at risk of joining Satan's Army, or the GNAA.
Simple counter comparison
C#
-------
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i ++)
{
cout << i;
}
-----------
Java
------
for(int i = -1; i < 100; i -= 100)
{
system.out.println(i);
}
------------------
See C# is much better
