“eWEEK Labs has just completed one of the most comprehensive,
real-world style tests of Linux, open-source, and .NET application
stacks. The results were, from a Linux fan’s point of view,

(Internet Information Server), SQL Server 2005, ASP (Active Server
Pages), and SharePoint Portal Server 2003…”
