Inderdaad, mooie cijfers:		        

Costs for Company B (100 users)
Microsoft Solution:                   $136.734
GNU/Linux Solution RedHat):   $         80
Savings by using GNU/Linux:  $136.654

Conclusions

   OSS/FS has significant market share, is often the most reliable software, 
and in many cases has the best performance. OSS/FS scales, both in problem 
size and project size. OSS/FS software generally has far better security, 
particularly when compared to Windows. Total cost of ownership for OSS/FS is 
often far less than proprietary software, particularly as the number of 
platforms increases. These statements are not merely opinions; these effects 
can be shown quantitatively, using a wide variety of measures. This doesn't 
even consider other issues that are hard to measure, such as freedom from 
control by a single source, freedom from licensing management (with its 
accompanying litigation), and increased flexibility. I believe OSS/FS options 
should be carefully considered any time software or computer hardware is 
needed.
