i need a quick and short summary comparison of MS versus Linux (or open source) deployment. i know that there could be several (google searchable) sites that i can troll. but if any of you have a ready document, or can point to the right website or url, i would be very grateful. basically the document should describe in short and non-technical language, the cost-benefit analysis, the non-monetary benefits, and long term vs short term implications of using open source/free software, as against proprietary software like MS.

thanks in advance,

ajit ranade.
