"There were other costs the study was not able to quantify, according to
Robinson, such as security. While study participants were reluctant to
provide hard figures on the costs of security breaches, it appears that
the "cost for handling security issues on Windows systems was very

spent twice as much time patching systems and dealing with other
security-related issues than did Solaris or Linux admins."
