OMG,
    Every story/article/editorial I read about businesses doing
large-scale Linux conversions lately has to mention that inane total
cost of ownership (TCO) study that MS paid IDC to do last December!
("Somecorp, Inc., IT Director Joe Sillyadmin announced last week that
he planned to switch all his web servers from Windows/IIS to
Linux/Apache, claiming a projected savings of $600,000 despite last
year's IDC study which clearly shows that Linux has a much higher TCO
than Windows) It has been totally and thoroughly debunked! Argh!
