The true cost of migrating to open source 

,----[ Quote ]
| If you work with real free software, not neo-proprietary versions, the 
| worst-case peak cost of migration is no greater than the 
| proprietary-to-proprietary kind.  
| 
| If you also look beyond the migration window defined by the proprietarists, 
| you will see that the really substantial savings accrue over time. So, 
| project return on investment is better than proprietary-to-proprietary, with 
| long-term sustainable cost reductions across the whole infrastructure.   
| 
| That simple fact is why, despite propaganda to the contrary, free-software 
| migrations are accelerating in the current economy.

Ballmer: GNU/Linux Will Win on Netbooks

,----[ Quote ]
| I think this is a very frank analysis of the problem for Microsoft: after
| all, who's going to pay extra money just to get the Windows logo on a
| netbook, when they can get the same features for less with free software...?
