This is **really** old, and has since been debunked. As I recall, the test was skewed to favor M$ to start with. Also, they were running the 2.2.2 kernel, which is *ancient*. The times have changed.

By Linux 2.4 kernel things are more even :-). Check out this benchmark - done not by Microsoft or a Linux vendor, but by an independent magazine : http://www.pcmag.com/article/0,2997,s%253D1474%2526a%253D16554,00.asp Regards, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team.

He has benchmarked Win2000+SCSI RAID vs Linux 2.4+EIDE RAID and Linux was the winner. Just to let you know! Praise
