Even at that, a smart implementation like SUSE is much less expensive than Microsoft Vista.

Yes, since Solaris 10 for x86 and x64 is faster and better architected.

Depends on how you use it. Any configuration becomes expensive when you try to do enough with it. But Linux has a very low buy in cost for start up businesses and is very price / performance competitive for even very large enterprises.
