Study: Windows cheaper than Linux | |

A Microsoft-commissioned study has found that companies could save up to 28 percent by developing certain programs with Windows instead of Linux, the software company plans to announce on Tuesday. The study, conducted by Giga Research and paid for by Microsoft, compared the likely costs over four years for a dozen medium-size and large businesses that were developing Web-based portals. Giga examined the costs of creating a portal using Microsoft's Windows operating system and related development tools as compared with those of Linux-based systems using Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) tools. | ||

| In some cases windows is cheaper and in others linux is cheaper. Use whatever makes most sense in your circumstance. |

tgnb, try that sort of logic on Slashdot and you'll get modded so far down as a troll that you won't know what hit you. I've used that same argument many times and got "-1 troll, -1 flaimbait...etc..." all over the place to the point that unless you set your filter to allow - infinity posts you'd never even see it.
The Dark Side of the Force is strong with the ABMers. They won't accept this study because MS funded it. Heck, they wouldn't accept it if Red Hat funded it because it's pro-MS. |

| Cthulhu: Why exactly should I post this sort of logic on Slashdot? What will i have to gain from doing so? Whats the point of your response other than bashing Slashdot? None. Ok then. You just reduced yourself to the same level as the people you bashed. |
