Not really a Linux question but I know there are bunch of Einstein Jr's on
the list.

I've got a research project for school. I'm looking for info on software
development cost models, specifically for operating systems. If anyone has
any good links to info I would be much appreciative. Doesn't necessarily
have to be Linux or Unix, Novell, Windows, or any other type of OS
development cost info would be great. I am basically looking for input
variables that contribute to the overall costs of developing an operating
system. Economists have a hard time accounting for the open source model ;)

If you have any links to share you can shoot them to me off-list.

Thanks.

Chris.
