What about reliability? The ZDNet test misses the whole issue.
Most servers are never going to get the waves of traffic you see at the high end of their testing scale. But any Web server, no matter what its traffic, has to stay up.
That's where NT falls on its face. NT servers go down about once a week; Linux boxes can go for 2 months or more without a reboot.
This review is old, but it's missinformation still lingers.
