From the article:
-----------
In other words, the use of Linux on a laptop eliminates the need for single-machine antivirus updates and limits its security vulnerabilities. This will permit the Linux laptop to last as long as the hardware does -- a savings of at least 50% on hardware alone.

Take back control of sensitive corporate data, and help users to become more productive: Use Linux!
