Hi,

At Citrix we use to say that the Total Cost Of Ownership is the sum of all the data processing costs regarding an employee to do his job. What that means :
At the employee level : all the costs ; computer, operating system, network, applications and of course all maintenance for HW & SW

Thanks for your help, I think that in this case, they are talking about the applications and support costs because we are treating with the TCO of a new operating system, so no hardware !

Good night :)
