Using OSS, you can either...
... Invest your time and acquire new skills,
or

Pay the going rate for someone who has.

Ever tried to configure a complex ERP system? If you don't want to learn, you must pay someone to do it for you.

It comes down to this: If you're competent, and able to invest some time, Linux and OSS in general are cheaper to implement and support. If you're incompetent, or don't have the time to invest in learning, your ROI will be about the same as Windows.
