At this point James, they'll pay the differential because:

1. NT Admins are in larger supply than linux admins
2. For all its warts, it is still a 'supported product' linux has a way to go here.
3. It's the applications.... and the training invested in running those applications.

The cost of switching and the risks involved are too high at this point. This may change in the future, but right now, MS wins.
