The group further claims that a deployment of Linux servers would increase costs over a Windows deployment.
My retort is a snort. Have our friends at the Yankee Group ever really managed a deployment? At one client we just upgraded from a Windows NT server based system to a Windows 2000 Active Server network. It required every single system to be upgraded, and to have every single desktop recreated. Talk about lots of work.
To deploy the Mac and the Linux box that was set up, it required about 15 minutes to figure it out, and another 3 minutes per machine as we mapped a drive.
Of course, as in any good (or should I say insufficient) argument, the Yankee Group added that because of the economy and the fact that there will be a three-year cycle before the next major Windows release, the market might change in favor of Linux.
