  1. 5 year study by Ba3r · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The MS site says that the cost of staffing is cheaper for windows over a 5 year study; I wonder if this study was done over the last 2 years would the results be a bit different? Seems the linux community has been growing exponentially, and major corporations have thrown their complete confidence in linux (hp, ibm).

    The .net stuff i would tentatively agree with, though, as I think its a great api/dev platform.
