Who Has Faster Pipes? Linux, Win2000, WinXP Compared

The performance testing was on Pipes(interprocess communication mechanism available on both Windows and Linux and UNIX). Although I new Linux would fare the best, the poor performance of Windows XP was a surprise. Windows 2000 actually did better than XP!"

    IBM's interest in LINUX is primarily on the S/390 platform, not an INTEL platform. Windows 2k/XP isn't available on the primary platform that IBM is touting LINUX for...

    IBM has every bit as much to gain or lose as any other PC/Server manufacturer does in an 386 platform.

    He wasn't complaining about use of caps for those two, he was complaining about use of caps for "pipes".


    Then why did he say this?


    Also, while I'm willing to forgive the use of UNIX and COM in capitol letters


    What was there to forgive? Those were correct. Sure, he goes on to say there was no reason to use caps for pipes, but nobody was disputing that.

    I think we all see the irony in that last remark now.
