Neither is Windows "free" to support.
I didn't say it was.

Implied it. Both require some support, one has zero capital cost, which is
cheaper?

It depends on the capital and support costs.

Windows may be cheaper overall if you need to retrain your support staff
and users to use whichever version of Linux and whichever office program
suite you use. Training for Ubuntu is not generally transferable to
Debian and vice versa. Then retrain them when Linux changes, and this
happens (On Ubuntu long term support versions, anyway) at about the same
frequency as Windows. I'd say, for a commercial operation, it's pretty
much a dead heat.
