  Answer; when you're comparing linux on a 2-cpu IBM mainframe (US$
375,000) versus Windows on a dual-Xeon (US$ 4,000).

  Somebody in the UK complained to their ASA (Advertising Standards
Agency) about misleading advertising.

The advert appeared in an IT magazine and was headed: "Weighing the cost
of Linux vs Windows? Let's review the facts".

The ad contained a graph comparing the cost in US dollars between a
Linux images running on two z900 mainframe CPUs and a Windows Server
2003 image running two 900MHz Intel Xeons chips.
