We have put together a pricing comparison between Linux/Open
Source technologies and Windows/Microsoft’s technologies for sample
organisations of size 50, 100 and 250 staff. We are targeting
non-IT organisational/financial management within companies. We
consider this a draft document and seek your readers’ comments and
feedback. We feel that with the current belt-tighening within the
IT industry, if we can convince management to spend more money on
IT staff payroll (even hiring more staff) rather than pay for
ever-spiralling Microsoft licences, we all win. Note, this is a
largish PDF file. Feel free to mirror.
