:Microsoft now officially touting the Mindcraft study
Microsoft now officially touting the Mindcraft study
Apr 21, 1999, 08 :35 UTC (37 Talkback[s]) (1915 reads)

Larry J. Blunk writes:

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."
