"A significant or total switch from Windows to Linux by most mid-sized or large organisations would be 'prohibitively expensive, extremely complex and time consuming, and would not provide any tangible business gains for the organisation,' a new survey by the Yankee Group claims."
Also from the report in The Age: "In large enterprises, a significant Linux deployment or total switch from Windows to Linux, would be three to four times more expensive and take three times as long to deploy as an upgrade from one version of Windows to newer Windows releases," Laura DiDio, the group's application infrastructure and software platforms senior analyst, said.
Techweb, CNet and many other news sites also have versions of the story.
