Well, in a way, that is precisely my point. It's impossible to say "This 
operating system has a TOC of X hours" because there are so many context 
specific variables.

So there's when someone says "the real reason people don't adopt Linux 
is because of the TOC", they're either just talking smack, or at best 
they're just taking their own personal experience and imposing it on 
everyone else.

Either way, they don't really have much substance to back up what they say.

Would you say that's a fair assessment?
