This is interesting, but it's sufficiently biased that it's not really
useful as a reference.  They conveniently leave out Windows packages
for which there isn't a Linux analog, and they only give one or two
Windows analogs where they give seven or eight Linux analogs.  Plus
this doesn't take into account the relative quality of each.

All in all, fine if you're just trying to impress your roommate, but I
wouldn't want to go into a contract proposal armed with this. ;-)
