and..

Linux is a great price, but add 6000 dollars worth of Oracle to it and it now cost more then Windows/SQL. I use these as it may cost more in time and effort to learn MYSQL then it would to find someone with knowledge of Oracle/SQL.

I know of a few small companies (20-300 people) who have used Window servers without any problems associated with being exposed to the web as most are not. They chug along doing exactly what they were purchased for. And the ease of use for these places is what many small business are looking for.


and add onto that the REAL cost of companies "ENTERPRISE" version of Linux vs its freebie version. You pay the big bucks for the Enterprise for the so called support (So called because all the software you use on it is mostly freebie and un-supported) and Enterprise beceuse their are those little tweaks to guarantee reliability and support.
