Microsoft’s “Competitive” ROI Calculator – My Take

I wrote a post for the Virtualization Pro blog about my take on Microsoft’s ROI Calculator. I was inspired to check out the calculator by the VMware Virtual Reality post Microsoft’s Virtualization ROI/TCO Calculator: Our Take.
“…it wasn’t how Microsoft calculated the numbers that bothered me most. I struggled to understand why a TCO and ROI calculator included a competitive analysis. After all, VMware’s TCO calculator doesn’t compare the cost of competitor’s products. What does that have to do with return on investment? It just seems out of place to me. Furthermore, if you go back and review VMware’s points they are mostly about the competitive cost comparison, too. It’s easy to forget we are discussing a TCO / ROI calculator.”
