I read this article over at ZDNet about how Novell has been linked to a press release with Microsoft that states that Windows has a lower TCO than Linux. Now in this case, its within a specific company, HSBC. The article is a shill for combining Windows and Linux together, which seems to be Novell's new goal.<rant>Has Novell gotten the wolves and sheep mixed up? This is like Road Runner expecting Wile E Coyote to not try and kill him every time he runs past. I won't argue that TCO can be proven in specific cases any which way you want it to look. Not to mention that the best TCO savings are from moving away from UNIX based hardware and OS to Linux based hardware and OS.
