Re: Windows vs. Linux TCO study

2006-02-15 Thread Post, Mark K
Not to malign any of the good people at Levanta (formerly Linuxcare),
but they _are_ in the business of marketing a Linux system management
tool.  They're not going to publicly promote a study that trashes that.

Or, in some cases (not here, really), throw them both sides. And watch

become "the teflon manager".
