Linux guys are just moving the cash outlay from the corporations to the consultants that would gladly setup the free software for you. There's no saving. It's a backward step. Under Linux, each business would need a person equivalent to a programmer on staff. In a corporate scheme, we're paying one resource to do the work and cost sharing. There's no rocket science in seeing that me paying one person to do the work is more expensive than me paying a fraction of the person at a corporation. Besides, anyone with a good innovative idea will gladly take the millions of dollars the corporations will pay for it. Why would someone innovate in free software?
