Dear Harshal

Harshal: The last few words - 'financed by ...' - tell most of the story.
I wonder if the study would have seen the light of the day had
the results been otherwise.

>> Please don't get me wrongly. I'm no Microsoft stooge but I'm no Linux geek
either. Just watching both systems from the sidelines happen to be my forte. This
presentation appeared credible to me (perhaps the only one from MS stables that I
have come across) notwithstanding the fact that the money came in from Bill Gates's
kitty.

Harshal: Based on how you define TCO, what are its components and the relative
importance of these components, you can come up with any scenario
to fit your needs.

>> Reminds of the brouhaha about "Quality of Service" and how "ATM" is all out to
wipe off "Ethernet". If further developments are any indicator then the contrary
appears to be taking place.
