Is Microsoft Less Expensive Than Linux?

Is Microsoft Less Expensive Than Linux? 12/04/2003 06:03 PM
UNTIL RECENTLY, if you wanted to find someone who thought that a Windows-based program was cheaper than one based on Linux, you had to go all the way to Redmond. No more. Not since Microsoft paid Forrester Research's Giga Research to conduct a comparative study of the costs of developing a Web-based portal. The study compared the costs incurred by five large and midsize companies that used the Java 2 Enterprise Edition with costs incurred by seven large and midsize companies that used .Net applications. For large corporations in the study, the cost of using Microsoft products for development and deployment plus three years of maintenance was 28 percent less than the cost for J2EE/Linux.

Whizzkid develops Linux application for Windows: This apparently isn't a new thing, but it's making the rounds of the tech blogs this morning.

The significance of the development is that Linux and Windows are able to work in parallel on the same computer or server. To now, the computer world is divided into systems that operate either with Windows or with Linux.

Windows more reliable than Linux?

Windows more reliable than Linux? 04/06/2005 06:18 PM

I know what your thinking and I was thinking the same thing, who paid for the study to prove this. You guessed Microsoft did. Interesting read but I am sure that those of you that are hard core Linux users will contest their results.

As a side note. The dedicated server that I have for this websites has had pretty terrible reliability and requires re-booting every couple of days. But a old die-hard Windows NT box that I have running similar services for some other websites I have gets re-booted every 90 days whether it needs it or not. So thus far I am not drinking the Linux Kolaid. [eWeek]
