But there's a real argument now about total cost of ownership, once you start adding up service, support, etc.
What support? I'm not making calls to Red Hat; I don't need to. I think that's propaganda...What about the cost of dealing with a virus? We don't have 'em. How about when we do have a problem, you don't have to send some guy to a corner of the building to find out what's going on--he never leaves his desk, because everything's server-based. There's no doubt that what I'm doing is cheaper to operate. The analyst guys can say whatever they want.

of course 'the powers that be' would love for us to all be scared. they want us to keep using their Microshaft products to keep padding their wallets. fuck that, and Thank You Sterling Ball for standing up and saying, "These analysts are full of shit."
killing them with kindness. my respect for EB just shot up 200%.
