They forgot to mention whether the study was funded by McSofty or not.
 Hmmm...  On the other hand, at least they're not running around
claiming that MS is actually cheaper to run. Ha!  Makes me think they
told MS, "look, we gotta at least make it look fairly even - that way
people won't think we've cooked the numbers".

Look, I understand that the costs of maintaining an IT infrastructure
will ramp up with size & complexity - blah, blah, blah.  But how does
the cost of Linux ramp up on a par with Windows?  Granted, RHE runs
about the same as Winxx these days.  Still, I'll have to claim
Missouri residency for now.
