Re: TCO on the desktop, NT vs Linux
On http://www.varesearch.com/ there is a link to a Datapro study where
some 800 peaple was asked if they was satified with different OS's with
regard to e.g. TCO.
Also the Swedish networking paper "nätvärlden" quotes an unamed Dataquest
report. The headline is "Windows NT the most expensive to administer".
Their website (http://www.natvarlden.et.se) does not mention it but you
might ask the article writer, mr. Fredrik Granlund
(fredrik.granlund@natvarlden.et.se).
