Windows ROI vs. Open Source
This makes me wonder how people think they
would be out of business UNLESS they use
Windows.

$9 BILLION DOLLARS, this puts companies OUT
business and customers who are furious with
services that are rendered unavailable due
to insecure software......

Tell me again, how does running Windows
bring value to a company?
