This is the embarrassing line: "As clients we used eight or sixteen 486 and higher PCs respectively, operating under Linux and hooked up to the server with a switched 10-MBit connection. Each of these clients operated up to 64 instances of a program loop making HTTP GET requests and accepting, evaluating and logging the server's response. This test program's source code can be downloaded from [2]. All in all, up to 1024 clients made parallel HTTP requests this way."
Of course NT is pretty shittly on reliability, but this is not a test to hang our hats on, red or otherwise.

SCO joind linux international (with $$$) about 2 years ago. They said Linux would be good for Unix and good for SCO.
They ported some of their products to Linux.
They do Linux professional services.
They supply open source software.
They share price is up from $2.50 to $14 over that period, their revenues and profits are up massively.
Seems like these are smart guys, riding a wave, and doing well. Some people posting here are such blind bigots its almost laughable!

UnixWare is supposed to blow NT out of the water on systems with 4 or more processors - it has very linear scalability.
Anybody tried it on these sort of tests?
