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.

Did I see a free Xandros version? OHHH
Lemme try this on an old lady.
download it using BitTorrent
unzip it
check the file
create an installation CD
install it
Sure... And then spend 5 years learning that.. no... Linux doesn't quite do what all your friends do with windows.
