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.

All new hardware have compatibility issues with Linux,
This is a completely false statement. Maybe you meant that some new hardware has compatibility issues. Even then, hardware problems are less and less frequent, especially with hw that adheres to USB standards.
I've had many hardware problems with Linux when I buy recent stuff. Problems I had when my Asus A7v600 motherboard was new: AGP, NIC, sound, IDE, ACPI & IRQ. Also, SuSE 9.1 have problems with my DVD burner and it can't detect my monitor. Everything works in XP.
