Lately, for some reason, it seems Microsoft and various
magazines which shall remain nameless (ZDnet) have started their
FUD again.
I’ve even seen various articles from pro-Windows
sites suggesting that Windows will make Unix obsolete. Let me make
a bold statement right now, and I’ll take the rest of this article
to prove it: Anyone with half a brain knows Windows NT is unable to
handle the same loads Unix can.”

“I’m not talking here about your average server serving a 200
employee company. No, I’m talking about the bare bones of the
Internet. I’ll take each major Internet service and we’ll find out
what kind of servers run the top of the tops.”
