I hope this is of help for your white paper...
I'd suggest you try the following: Think up a company and its IT infrastructure needs. Then ask both Microsoft and (e.g.) SuSE for an estimate for a custom solution including support.
As to statistics on this topic, I haven't seen any yet:(
SuSE have a collection of case studies on their website. Maybe those companies are a good point to start at if you would like to do some research of your own.
