Flow My Thoughts, The IT Professor Said

My Little TCO

Rivalling the argument about how many VC angels can dance on the head of a pin has been whether Linux or Windows has a lower TCO -- this article comes quite close to saying "both". Besides making some sensible analytical remarks about costs and their estimation, it also [along with commentaries in response] demonstrates that such issues as IP and Product Activation represent real factors to be considered above just cost issues.

This won't settle this debate, but it can make the discussion more informed.
