When it comes to these large tales of myths, M$ have been doing it for years.  It is why the majority of computer users know better.  It is why We know that M$ Longhorn is gonna be the same as all the other M$ OS'es out there and we know this because M$ was never about building an OS but just building a briliant add campain.

Most if not all of the factors leading to higher costs they point to relate to the initial adoption of the platform, not the cost of running it long term e.g. Cost of training, unfamiliarity with the platform, steep learning curve for companies already familiar with/using a different system.

Meaning that if you already have Windows installed, and have spent countless hours training your people to use it, then your costs will be higher.  Yes, that's true, but it is only true because Windows already has so much market dominance.  Circular logic - the circle needs to be broken.

Can you do me a favor?
Try to refer to Microsoft by it's name; not M$ or Microsoft

Or are you able to do that?

Oh no, the language police!

How dare anyone say what they want?  Such democratic notions are frowned upon.  Free speech only applies to Canadian Lover and opinions that match his.
