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.

I'm not disagreeing that there was bias in the article, but he didn't say that you didn't need a firewall. Each of the OS'es you mentioned come with a firewall - which you darn well better configure!!!
