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.

in the usa you can regularly buy a pc with windows xp home for as little as $349 with speakers, 17" crt, and inkjet printer if price is your main concern. pc will have have specs like celeron 2.8ghz, 256mb ram, cd-rom, 40gb hard drive, etc.
Where are you finding that kind of a deal? That is nuts. That processor alone is about $120, the RAM would be at least $40 or so, 40GB harddrive is another $50 or so, motherboard and so on. Are you talking about some kind of rebate deal?
