I'm not going to get into any disagreement about Linux vs Windows. But
a Linux solution for anything is very expensive, time-wise. If you have
the time it's cheap. What they say is true; the easy is hard and the
hard is doable in Linux, the easy is easy and the hard is $99.95 in Windows.
Pick your poison, but for those of us who have such experience, don't
suggest one is cheaper than the other. :-)

So $199 for Windows 7 Pro, plus $100 for the $100 for the software.
Now if there a Unix/Linux shop, give them 2-4 hours to setup the windows
VM and appropriate firewall settings, etc. A couple of hours to properly
work out how to use the software and the few hours a year of
administration for the Windows box and organizing backups, etc (I'm
feeling generous towards Windows today).
So how many man hours is that worth? I wouldn't say he is over
estimating...

Print Wizard will run quite nicely on a $300 netbook. Velcro it to the
wall. :-)
Or set up a virtual Windows machine on your Linux machine.
Seriously, though, I believe you're overestimating the costs while being
largely unaware of the benefits.
