Re: Replacing Linux with Windows, based on *cost*?

"Don't forget that 'cost' includes training. That may be the part of the equation that they're worrying about."

I winder if anyone has factored in the retraining costs of transferring thousands of staff from FOSS to Windows? IIRC they were running XP back then so all those staff will have a hell of a learning curve switching to Win10, even if they do remember any of their XP skills. This is part of the argument MS used to claim the TCO of Windows was lower than Linux because "everyone knows how to use Windows".
