from the article:

<"What I've found is that a Linux administrator who knows what he's doing
should be able to administer two to three times the amount of boxes a
Windows administrator should be able to administer," he said. >

Their whole tco study is based on this premise, which I believe to be not
only false but totally baseless. Where is the proof for this classic
assumption? This is what they offer:



THEY ARE ASSUMING a windows admin can only manage 10 machines but a unix
admin can manage 1000? ROFL!!!!!

What did the linux community do, hire Microsoft's old PR firm?
