Ask OSDL CEO Stu Cohen About Linux TCO Studies

Posted by Roblimo on Monday February 13, 2006 @02:00AM from the truth-lurks-somewhere-in-the-grey-gloom dept.

This morning OSDL and OSDL member Levanta jointly released a study done by Enterprise Management Associates called Get the Truth on Linux Management. For years, a proprietary software company in Washington State has run what they call a Get the Facts campaign about Linux, full of studies that invariably show Linux to be expensive, hard to maintain, and less than totally secure. Stu Cohen, as CEO of OSDL, a group "dedicated to accelerating the growth and adoption of Linux in the enterprise," will happily answer your questions about Linux vs. Windows studies and the myths and FUD that seem to hover over them. Expect Stu's answers to the 10 - 12 highest-moderated questions later this week.

How many rounds would you go, one on one, against Steve Ballmer in an auditorium full of chairs?

After all, how many people would believe an Open Source company to be any less biased than MS when it comes to comparing their products?

Well, it looks like /.user ids are getting near the 900,000 range so there are at least nearly 1 million who would believe that ;-)
