Although he never mentions it this article is really just another Windows NT vs Linux piece. Why? For a start any computer magazine that doesn't have either "Linux" or "Mac" in the title is a Microsoft Windows magazine. Secondly PC Magazine isn't going to offend their market (ie Windows users) by slagging off Microsoft. Nope, they're going to pat their readers on the back by letting them know what a great choice of OS they made. Lastly (and this is where NT comes into the picture) the article mentions eBay specifically. And guess what eBay is using? Yep, Microsoft IIS. Strange that hotmail wasn't mentioned though I'm sure it would get more hits than eBay.

Yes, but will the view be any good? Who is this Anonymous Coward guy, and where does he get the time to post all those messages? ;-)
