In this article:
http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9911/22/solaris8.ent.idg/index.html

it was claimed that "data centers running Windows 2000 will cost
one-fifth to one-third of the price of a Unix-based system and will
also offer customers significant savings over Unix in terms of TC0."

Is this possible?  I thought the reason many companies were going back
to Unix was because of lower costs?  Or is this just referring to
commercial Unix?  And since when has M$ offered value as one of its
selling points?
