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.

"Ok, now tell some little old lady to try linux and then reply. They have to have help and who exactly is going to heip them?"
Computers are confusing in general, this is an unfair test. You try explaining Windows to a little old lady. Try explaining Mac! Everything is going to confuse someone who hasn't the foggiest. Especially if they say that: "I haven't the *foggiest* idea of what is going on." No, I'm not old.
