Chris Smith is quite right. Percentages may be used to justify or hide losses in the board room and yearly report, but good managers will try to minimize them. If somethings costs you $2M per year, that means you will be willing to throw at least $2M per year (and probably more) if doing so will save $5M over a couple years. The extra $5M gets your entire department a pay raise :-)
Reliability is important. However I think Linux is well on the way. I've had single servers run for *years*. I might add that several upcoming projects for which I will be using Linux are going to be in the ultra-reliability area. So I have a strong interest in anything that makes the system even more high-rel and fault tolerant.
