I don't think you can beat the price at any price...

I could have my employer buy win95 or nt with no problem,
but *why*? linux is superior, regardless of price.

I don't use it just because it's economical, I use it because it
is powerful and effective. (although the economic issue does make it
more accessible than say, BSDI or Solaris...)
