1. Comment - Study: Linux and Windows Costs Equal

   (Sep 27, 2006 - 9:46 AM)

   If it were true that the cost are equal, then Linux still has the advantage due to futre and expansion costs being lower, if existant at all. Also, Linux gives the company the opportunity to access the source code without restriction or signing legal documents, etc in order to mae modifications or pertinent alterations that may tailer the OS to their specific uses. The only advantage windows holds here is in the applications base where many of the moost widely used and popular business apps are distributed only for use on Windows. Time and creativity will eventually remove that advantage also once Linux developers decide to get "into" the business desktop.
   
   The SMMMMB market is almost starving for affordable, fully functioning applications that they will be able to implement in their business without going broke. Linux will be the OS and development community to address this best and first.
   
   Once SMB migrates, bigger, B2B corps will also migrate or respond in some similiar fasion if only to maintain the ability to continue doing business with these SMB's.
   
   Just my 2 cents, ante up
