"One point upon which you can engage them is that of price. A quick calculation presented the right way may very well grab your boss’ attention. Let’s look at an example. A basic office employee’s workstation needs an operating system and an office productivity suite (word processor, spreadsheet, and email). To purchase this software from Microsoft, you will be spending at least $500 on each workstation. If you use SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, you’ll be spending about $50 per workstation. If you have 40 workstations, and buy your software from Microsoft, you will be spending about $20,000 on just software for those machines. If you use SLED 10, you will spend only $2,000 to fully equip 40 workstations with an OS, an office production suite, and several thousand excellent applications. The bottom has fallen out of the cost of running Linux on the desktop." |
