Energy Company Refutes Windows TCO Claims
apt-get writes "Computerworld Australia has a gem of a case study on Country Energy with comments from an IT manager that shoot down Microsoft's 'objective' Windows TCO claims. My favourite; 'we get to see both sides and Windows is not cheaper at all'. Interestingly, in almost every area of its critical IT infrastructure, open source and commercial software work in peace together. The IT manager even says not having MS Office on Linux is a hindrance to its desktop take up."
What kind of buzzword bullshit is "enterprise strength solutions?" back in the 90s i could have sold a god damned spork as an "e-commerce solution" and made $1,000,000,000 in an hour without backing it up. Sure it's not the 90s, but you can't have a "solution" without a problem.
Or maybe it is the fact that I do not respect capitalism, corporations, or profit motive and don't give a shit if these peopl get work done bcause they don't make anything useful, just generate more money out of thin air by dealing with other companies that do the same thing.
