“Interestingly, an old page on the MS Web site claiming that the
lower costs of Linux are “a myth” has been removed. In its place is
a more reasonable item cheerfully touting the many wonderful

an approach we could sum up as, ‘it costs more because it’s worth
more’. This too will probably not survive informed criticism or
daily experience, but it’s certainly easier for the company’s
flacks and salesmen to say with a straight face…”
