Brian Proffitt, editor of Linux World, has a nice editorial debunking "Total Cost of Ownership" (TCO) studies in general, because they only fit the particular business being studied. He points out that if you constrain Linux and open source applications to fit a Windows model, of course you're going to spend more. The point analysts overlook is this: "getting Linux to accommodate a business rather than the other way around is a much, much easier proposition than Windows."
