    Oh, I forgot TCO is a catch phrase

    Those are a few more pages, filled with the TCO "catch phrase". Take a business class, or finance class, total cost of ownership has been around a long time.

    I think microsoft assumes you have some for knowledge of business, because had you taken any management or business classes you would have heard of Total Cost of Ownership.

    Also if you had bothered to read the third party analyzations of TCO they also explained it to you.
