Shift to Linux saves on new project deployment.
The Bureau of Meteorology claims to have saved considerable sums on
software licensing by embracing open source software during a server
virtualisation drive.
When the Bureau of Meteorology shifted to using server virtualisation,
one major benefit for scientists was the ability to deploy individual
servers for specialised processing tasks.
To allow that to happen at minimal cost, the Bureau switched from a
largely Windows server environment to one where Linux played a much
greater role.

Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined by how fervently they believe it.
