A study of the total cost to deliver health and human services, basic governance, and environmental protection show that Windows Server 2003 outperforms the U.S. Government by an average of 11% to 22%, potentially saving U.S. Tax payers (licensees of managed government services) nearly 500 Billion dollars per year.
Windows is most cost effective when you compare the environmental impact of feeding and housing 20 million public servants versus the resource consolidation that allows them to be obviated. Add to that the elimination of the Justice Department and its associated costs, and you’ve got savings you can take to Microsoft’s new online banking service.
