the FUD goes on... :)

there are some notable inconsistencies in the report too:

<snipped_content>
IDC found Linux more economical than Windows in the area of Web serving.
That is probably due to the popular Apache Web server, which is often
acquired for free, Wheeler said. IDC has published research in the past
showing that some companies that replace Unix systems with Linux can save
twice as much as those that move from Unix to Windows.

how could apache be more economical than IIS when in fact IIS is already
built into Windows NT/2000? this kind of reasoning doesn't make sense
(remember Microsoft's previous tagline "making it all make sense"?)
