Depends on the case. I remember Microsoft going to Largo, Florida to get that successful migration and anti-FUD nightmare reversed. Largo's IT chief said the Microsoft reps left after admitting they couldn't match the low Linux TCO (although they could have given better TC0).

WTF else would you expect the Largo IT chief to say? If he admitted otherwise, he wouldn't have a job.

So now you're accusing him of lying? Admit it, TCO is on a case-by-case basis, and this was a clear case where Microsoft couldn't match the Linux TCO.
