The true cost of migrating to open source
,----[ Quote ]
| If you work with real free software, not neo-proprietary versions, the
| worst-case peak cost of migration is no greater than the
| proprietary-to-proprietary kind.
|
| If you also look beyond the migration window defined by the proprietarists,
| you will see that the really substantial savings accrue over time. So,
| project return on investment is better than proprietary-to-proprietary, with
| long-term sustainable cost reductions across the whole infrastructure.
|
| That simple fact is why, despite propaganda to the contrary, free-software
| migrations are accelerating in the current economy.

Ballmer: GNU/Linux Will Win on Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| I think this is a very frank analysis of the problem for Microsoft: after
| all, who's going to pay extra money just to get the Windows logo on a
| netbook, when they can get the same features for less with free software...?
