I know people that use Linux because they pay for Windows Servers. I ask them "How much you're saving?" They usually say something from a few hundred bucks up to a few thousand. Then I ask my second question "How much is your hourly rate?" You get the point?
Hardware, licenses etc are cheap, skilled labor is the main cost in IT operations. And Windows is much much more easier to manage, no matter what kind of Linux guru you are.
