Well, Microsoft has done it. The have put up a FUD-filled
article touting the Mindcraft study on their "Daily News" site and are running banner ads linking to the article all
over the place.
"Windows NT Server 4.0 faster, more scalable than Linux as a file and Web server, tests show"
"Tests done by Mindcraft, an independent testing lab, found that Microsoft®
Windows NT® Server 4.0 is 2.5 times faster than Linux as a file server and 3.7
times faster as a Web server. Comparing comparable Linux and Windows NT
Server-based systems, Mindcraft found that Windows NT Server 4.0 could
handle more requests and test systems while maintaining a higher level of
performance. Windows NT Server 4.0 also reached a higher peak performance
as both a Web and file server."
