Yeah, the SPA or whoever conducted that investigation of Ball Guitar strings
(iirc), did the "right thing" but did it the "wrong way".  Publically
humiliating companies by name?  Dunno that is a workable tactic, especially
given the result that Ball went to *nix (imv, jumping outta the pan in-ta
"*nix hail"), and SUPPOSEDLY they saved x% hard cash to boot.

'Course, there's no way to measure how much they COULD-a saved, if they'd
went with i/5 and M$ is there??  My guess is they could-a saved a bundle,
even including the growing license fees and head-aches of using Win-do's...

But Ball's decision wasn't motivated by the cost/benefits anyway, from what
I read.
