how is this an unbiased test? they started it using a quad-cpu machine. linux is know for having rather poor smp support. thats one of the fixes the 2.4.x kernel is supposed to fix. i find it rather hard to believe that microcraft had no idea of this. not only that, they were using a old version of linux (rh to make it worse;-) ). thats like having nt 4.0 (no service packs) versus rh 6.1 with 2.2.13, it just isn't fair.
