Technews Linux Insider (http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/story/32844.html)
is probably one of the most succinct articles I've read on Linux migration in the server department.
Best paragraph to me was: "Unfortunately, you don't usually see companies taking on carefully planned transitions to new ways of thinking about computing. Instead, mounting user dissatisfaction with IT services gets expressed among senior managers as rising concern over IT costs, and the two groups work out an unstated compromise in which the same IT people who can't make the Windows stuff they know work to the satisfaction of their users promise to explore the use of Linux as a way to cut costs paid to third parties".
Cost comparisons are useless, because like he says, "You have to change the thinking, not just the software". Sort of sums up everything- guess that's why he's called a professional writer, you think? :D
