Will these cost increases drive more organizations to switch to Linux?
How does Red Hat for instance, charge it's customers for enterprise Linux installations?

My MS license true up is in March. Can’t wait... We get higher costs every year. Everyone wants iPads and mobile devices, well guess MS charges us for these devices because they touch either an exchange server or a SQL server in some way.

4 cores should be the standard. It’s not like you’re buying an OS for each core on the same server.

Golly, we’re still getting along okay with Win2008 R2 and MSSQL 2008.
But you’re telling me corporations are spending money on IT infrastructure again? You mean, actually buying new rack mounted server blades and migrating to new server OS versions?
Wow, wonder what that’s like. I’m pretty sure most of the planet is still using Office 2007.

every announcement they make lately has made me cement my move away from them.

This is trivial with respect to physical servers. The crunch is going to come when we have to re-license virtual hosts, where the critical calculation is not the number of cores the server lives on, but the number of cores it might migrate to. Oracle has already played this little game. If a server residing on a virtual host consumes two virtual cores and it's so licensed, no problem - when it migrates to a new host the license migrates with it. If, however, you are obligated to license it for every core it
might migrate to, that's a very different calculation.
The paranoid in me is muttering that it's a means of making the whole thing so messy that management finds the expense of working it all out with local staff is more than outsourcing to a large vendor. I could be wrong about that, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Microsoft seems to be doing everything it can to promote Linux these days... :-)
