Now that SCO will be offering an economic incentive to switch from Citrix to SCO licenses in that specific situation mentioned at ThinPlanet, I'd appreciate some help in understanding a fundamental aspect of the business.

In Gorilla Game, we learn that a high cost of switching is one of the critical attributes of a Gorilla's products. If some day viable competitors' products become available across the board, how would you characterize the relative total cost of switching from Citrix products to the competitors' products? Is there an inherantly high cost of switching, such as the exhorbitant cost a company would have of switching from a Windows-based environment of desktops to a Mac-based environment?
