Where would you look for those unbiased reports?

Honestly a truly unbiased report on anything is extremely rare. We
should know this from all our discussions here. Everytime Microsoft
comes out and has some study that says that Microsoft has a better ROI
than Linux, the screaming about bias comes through loud and clear.

The same thing happens on the other side. No matter what happens or
who puts out the study, someone, somewhere, in particular those that
do not agree with the study will call bias.

A truly unbiased report is such a rarity, I am not even sure such a
animal even exists.
