I probably don't need to point this out to the intelligent readership of
the Extropian list, but one can imagine there might be some biases
involved when a company compares their own product to someone else's.
Case in point, if you click on the link to a study that dispels the myth
"linux is cheaper than NT", you will find it is actually a comparison of
Windows NT to Sun Solaris -- which of course is a commercial operating
system running on expensive proprietary hardware. More than a little
deceptive ;-)
