Actually, you made my point.

Your explanation of "why change" was $$$$$$ based, not technological 
superiority based.

If Linux cost the same or more, how many would be changing to Linux?

Lots fewer!

David,

        I beg to differ.  I think that cost will drive many IT shops off
of Windoze in that time.  Win 2003 is listed at $1500 per server + user
connection license costs have gone up.  We're looking at $200K to
upgrade our data center on Windoze.  Set that up against a $50K cost to
migrate to Linux & decisions get made, Fast.  Hence the CIO's 5 year
plan.
