1. Comment - Study: Linux and Windows Costs Equal

   (Sep 27, 2006 - 5:00 PM)

   .......... POINTS ............
   
   In the REAL world folks...... LINUX COSTS MORE/or the SAME!
   
   IF you take into consideration that 98% (there-abouts)of the "employees", who have gone to "school" to learn to work in "offices", have been "taught" WINDOWS and WINDOWS applications. PERIOD.. COST to the "company's" to "train" these "employees" has just "DROPPED" because "THEY" do NOT have to really "train" these people (Our FINE educational institutions have done that for them).
   
   NOW those "same" "employees" have to be "trained" to work with "MAC or LINUX". COST to the "company's" just went WAY up. Instructors to "teach" the OS, Instructors to teach the "Progams to be used (aka.. OpenOffice or the "MAC" couter-part). THIS doesn't even INCLUDE the IT Department's roll in being "trained".
   
   I am NOT the biggest fan of Microcrap.... BUT.. They have had MAY years to "Perfect" their game.... NOT their software.. Just their game.
   
   It is like the Automobile -v- Train.... THE MAIN reason we(In the US) use cars is because (Ford and others) convenced the GOVERNMENT to build "highways/roads". EACH railroad had to (buy land, buy ALL the parts, and lay the lines)all on THEIR own. COST to railroad (A Sh*t load). US Government "paid" for and "maintains" the "highways/roads". COST to automobile industry.. $0.00 (not a frigggen penny). Microsoft=car-industry , Linux/Mac=railroad. YOU DO THE MATH!
