Upon reading through the thread this subject is currently in discussion at my place of business. Currently we still operate in a Novell environment (please stop laughing). It is reliable but new software is simply vanishing from this platform. The "natural" progression, according to management was NT and/or Win2K. This happened before I arrived. Win2K produced certain undersirable results in a handful of applications and a tape backup system. At this point I challenged the management with these incompatibility issues and a looming XP licensing scheme that looked something like '1984'. I need a real dollars and sense look at Linux vs Win(whatever) both on the server and desktop sides. Quips and one liners aside, management wants a bottom line.
This is a call for papers on the subject. If anyone has seen or has in the e-possesion this type of analysis I could use it.
[Ok yes the e-mail is a hotmail domain name. I say "Use the bitch for what he's good for"!]
