Star Opinion: TCO for Everyone who isn't a Multinational Corporation

In the News Ever since Microsoft started publicly outing Linux with their "Get the Facts" campaign, I have seen numerous articles and studies about the TCO (total cost of ownership) of both products in a head to head manner. However, I have yet to see one article discuss the TCO for home users and small businesses. I have thought long and crunched many numbers to devise a conclusion to this years old debate and I think the results are obvious... Windows is way more expensive than Linux.

Running Windows with its many backdoors that enable Microsoft to steal data off of your computer can be very damaging. I've heard many people have lost important intellectual property because they use Windows.
