I was considering trying out Linux as a server system for my medium sized
business but after doing some net research I see so many Linux Sux
articles that I can't justify Linux to my superiors. Primarily I am seeing
places that comitted to Linux and then went back to Windows or businesses
that investigated Linux and decided that it was not worth the effort and
in fact would turn out to be more expensive than Windows.

In fact entire countries have abandoned Linux and stayed with Windows
because hey decided that it was not worth the cost of converting.

Why is that?
