According to this News.com article, IDC says that Windows Server is cheaper than Linux. Right, right. The whole TCO thing. Apparently the administrators that IDC talks to never have any problems with Windows, and they assume that Linux has higher cost because people are not familiar with it.

These are the same "analysts" that say that Linux is only used by people who are... familiar with it. Because it's too hard for other users!

Maybe these guys would like to take a course on propositional logic one of these days...
