Windows 2000 servers cheaper to run than Unix | |

A new survey has found that Intel-based servers running Windows 2000 and trusted with key back-office applications are significantly cheaper than Unix servers. The cost of running back-office servers on Windows and Intel technology is around half that of Unix servers, a new report has found. According to the survey of US medium and large sized enterprises, over a three-year ownership period, companies can expect to see 46 per cent lower costs associated with acquiring, maintaining and running a Windows 2000 server over a Unix/Risc machine. "We expected there to be a cost advantage, but not this high," said Thomas Manter, research director at Aberdeen Group and author of the report. | ||

| #2 - Actually... this is *really* good for MSFT. Their goal has always been to create software so easy to use that anybody could do it. Obviously, they're on their way. |

#20 - Because:
A. Most companies don't actually use Unix on Intel. B. It wouldn't be as exciting of numbers. |

| #18, I am a Win2K MCSE with two jobs. One in the field full-time and one instructing. Although I had my Admin job before I was an MCSE, and I got the MCSE just to see the diff. between NT and 2K. Not to get more money or keep my job. Unfortunately the NT 4.0 track was far to easy to get the MCSE and flooded the market, that and these schools pumping out 15-20 MCSE's every 6 months is killing it as well. |
