From InfoWorld: Microsoft this week said enterprises and organizations could save up to $404 per employee over a three-year span by adopting Windows 10.
That claim came from a company-commissioned analysis done by Forrester Research. After interviewing four Microsoft customers which have begun migrations from Windows 7 to Windows 10, Forrester created a hypothetical composite organization -- one with 24,000 Windows devices, and a large number of mobile workers among its 20,000 employees -- that it then used to model costs of rolling out Windows 10 and savings generated after the fact.
Microsoft regularly issues cost-savings pronouncements buttressed by company-paid third-party reports when it's trying to convince corporate customers to upgrade an operating system. In 2012, for example, Microsoft contended that Windows XP's support costs were five times higher than Windows 7's, part of a campaign to get enterprises to retire the aging XP.
