- You can't compre the cost of NT with a freeware OS who doesn't cost anything.
-
- Instead You should compare it (if You really need comparing) to commercial
- unices like Solaris x86, SCO, Unixware and Nextstep.
-
- Freeware software will *always* be cheaper than commercial software.
-
- For my purposes NT (and OS/2) is a great general platform for doing what I
- want (I also have FreeBSD 2.1 to toy with if I feel like using some unix).
-
- For you, maybe Linux is your best main OS. And for someone else maybe XX is
- the best OS for him.
