    What I'd love to know is, how can Windows possibly be cheaper than Linux when Microsoft charges hundreds of dollars per license and then hits you up for support.

    If I where to add up all my labour costs involved in getting windows and linux up and running for the various customers I have - Linux would blow Windows away in terms of billing hours.

    "The borg" as you call Microsoft is an excellent software company, but they are a company. They have a priority to please stock-holders and pay their employees, they are INVESTING in Linux. Not assimilating it. Expect Microsoft to make investments into distributions that they see going places to compete against them. This isn't just happening with Linux.

    Microsoft is making a lot of investments to ensure profits long after the Windows gold mine is gone.

    Novell is a crap company. Forget about them.
