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.

With all the people auditing windows and doing packet captures on windows machines, don't you think someone would have notices the machines doing file xfers back to microsoft? You claims are retarded and without merrit.
Sadly though, many people are using Linux becasue they think like you.
BS. I think that, in fact, very little people run Linux because they believe that there is a backdoor in Windows. But don't let that stop you from flamebaiting, though!
I think that, over the past few days, it's pretty clear that anti-Linux trolls and flamebaiters now far outnumber so-called "Linux zealots."
But, one may ask, aren't they afraid that their rude, adolescent behavior will react poorly on their proprietary OS, leading companies to shun its use? (Yes, that's sarcasm...)
