getopenlab.com - Computing the cost of doing business: "Many of our technically uninspired staff thought they were simply using another version of Windows, so simple and similar was the interface of the new system.
As for technical and financial aspects of the move to an open-source operating system, those were vastly different.
Support staff spend far less time resolving queries and computers operate almost without any problems at all – the majority of them have not been shut down or rebooted since they were turned on.
On a financial level, the cost of both new hardware and software licensing was far less than what the company would have spent on simply renewing its current Windows licenses.
If this is what it is all about, I would warn the guys at Microsoft to watch out. They may soon wake up one morning to find that they're not the most popular kid on the office block anymore."
