"It is hard to imagine the TCO of Linux has gone up" etc

Linux is still sufficiently different that it is unfamiliar to 99 per cent of the population.

Of those 99 per cent maybe a third in my experience won't need the training at all, they are smart and figure stuff out. That still leaves two thirds asking the dumbest questions.

Retraining is a fact. It isn't a judgement on Linux being any harder to use than Windows or Mac - we know well configured and locked down isn't harder to use. It just that's Linux is different. Anything different causes problems.
