I am educated as an Economist. I've been a CEO. I know what Total Cost of Ownership means. It's exceedingly obvious YOU don't have a clue about what that means to a business. It is NOT subjective at all. It is easily calculated and can be looked at on an accounting balance sheet. Too bad you don't know that. Good thing such decisions are not in your purview. I've known this fact for more than a decade and it's been shown in every study by anyone who has bothered to do a TCO study which included all costs associated with using each platform per computer. You just ignored that calculation I showed you above. . . tens of millions of dollars, but you think it's "subjective."
“I am educated as an Economist. I’ve been a CEO. I know what Total Cost of Ownership means.”
Lol!
You do?
So then why are you bitterly clinging on IBMs word as the final “proof” of this absolutely stupid claim?
There are thousands of companies that have done their own calculations and have found that PCs work for them.
Apparently their personal findings didn’t tickle you like IBM showing this for themselves.
Another product of the university system.
