Desktop of the future

This presentation from Ed Brill could also be named "How to save money in IT"  or "IBM Saves you money $$$".  

While it shows some good numbers for saving money, to be complete and give a more accurate delta, the presentation needs some numbers around central management and software to accomplish it, the cost of conversion and education.  The difference between the MS$ and the new desktop described is some $700 in round numbers, if you were to boldly say that central management, conversion cost, and education cost $200 per desktop, then you are still saving your company $500 per desktop using Ed's numbers.  Just a thought... What are yours?
