| 245475 | 2004-06-17 13:02:00 | Munich (www.usatoday.com) has finally decided to convert to Linux after the trial of a year or so | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 245476 | 2004-06-17 13:12:00 | The last paragraph could go in to another thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) not so far from here. ;) Cheers Murray P |

| 245477 | 2004-06-17 13:18:00 | can any one explane how MS thinks the TCO of linux is more than the TCO of windows??? I can see how they can put it down due to the cost of switching but that is only a small part of the TCO. |

| 245478 | 2004-06-17 13:22:00 | Im afraid you need to work for MS to understand their logic. Their motives are quite clear though. |

| 245480 | 2004-06-17 14:19:00 | I would like to know where the suing is going to take place and what the grounds are. I don't think the big stick will make the slightest bit of difference. If anything it will work to the detriment of MS. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 245481 | 2004-06-17 22:41:00 | >>can any one explane how MS thinks the TCO of linux is more than the TCO of windows??? The jury is still out on this one. MS commissions a company to do a study and as MS has paid them thousands and thousands of dosh, they come out as favouring MS. As they say, lies, damned lies and statistics. I think for every company that believes the TOC of Linux is more expensive than MS products, there is another one that has really saved themselves money. |

| 245483 | 2004-06-17 23:26:00 | I was reading one the other night. I think a Canadian Hospital. Where they went with Linux servers with Linux thin clients and they reckon their savings in their first year will be greater than the 37% predicted. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 245484 | 2004-06-18 01:37:00 | WTF!!!! how can you sue a person who decides not to use your product??? |
