ESR sure likes to spout off. I don't think this helps the Free Software community one bit.
Example:
"Make a big deal about the migration costs of moving to Linux. Beating this one is easy. All you have to point out is that migration costs money once; per-seat Microsoft licensing fees are forever. Unless Linux TCO is substantially greater than Windows TCO, the sooner you switch, the more money you save."
This is crap. Ever heard of "interest"? "Cost of money"? Think about it.
