Why not just accept the results (as long as the Linux community agrees it was fair - and this is acknowledged in the article) and go back to improving the kernel, instead of now saying that the figures arent applicable in real world situations. Noone said anything about this after the first tests, now suddenly the test means nothing because noone likes the final outcome. Going into a long explanation to water down the importance/application of the tests to somehow save face looks really bad. Whether or no the results can be seen in the wild doesnt matter as NT still proved better.
(Sort of) analogous to defending driving your Citroen 2CV as opposed to a Merc cos you can only drive at 120km/h on the highway:) (lets not extend this metaphor)
Its generally accepted that the Linux kernel's TCP/IP implementation aint the best there is.
