Window NT vs Linux sponsered by Microsoft...was anybody really surpirsed that NT won by such a large margin? You can't trust results like that when the sponsor happens to be the rival company.
Another test was done recently to conifrm the results from the Mindcraft test...and although NT still won, the margin was significantly less. THe details of why Linux lucked out are a bit technical, however, the cause of the problems were immediately identified. And there is even a Beta patch for the problems available on the site; it came out a couple of days after the problem was identified. In addition the problems will be resolved in the next Kernal release.
Just try and get that type of response out of M$, it takes them months to recognize that the problem exists, let alone come out with a fix...
