Re:

The passing of Comdex indicates a movement to on-line research,
cutting IT budgets and general belt tightening within Corporate
America.

Why spend $4,000 to have a guy from your company wander around there
for a week
when you can buy ten PC's and load them up with Ubuntu for the same
price?

Getting linux installed and working on 10 PCs will cost a hell of a lot more
than $4,000.
