Linux not as inexpensive as believed

FCW is carrying a story on yet another survey on the M$ vs. Linux debate, this time by research firm - Yankee Group.

Perhaps an even bigger bite in the Linux vs. Windows debate is the study's finding that Linux is not a long-term guard against security problems. Although it is considered somewhat more secure than Windows, Linux is expected to come under increasing hacker scrutiny in the future and companies seem to prefer sticking with the devil they know.

Try as I did, I couldn't find any connection between Yankee Group and Microsoft :/ Maybe someone will leak an explanatory email in a couple of weeks ;)
