“Testing lab invites another round of performance testing — but
Linux gurus charge the shootout is still rigged.”
“The saga of Mindcraft and its Windows NT vs. Linux shootout
continues. On May 4, Bruce Weiner, president of the Mindcraft
performance testing lab, posted an “Open Benchmark Invitation” on
his Web site inviting the Linux community to participate in yet
another comparison between Windows NT and Linux.”
“But the immediate response from leaders in the Linux world can
be summed up succinctly: No way in hell. As far as Linux creator
Linus Torvalds, leading Linux hacker Alan Cox and Red Hat CEO Bob
Young are concerned, there’s no advantage to be gained from
participating in what they consider to be a game that’s still
rigged in Microsoft’s favor.”
