“Latest Mindcraft benchmark is still not to the liking of
open source advocates.”
“Get out your flame-retardant suits: Microsoft Corp. NT
triumphed over Linux in Round 2 in the Mindcraft Inc. benchmark
saga–in spite of the involvement this time around of
representatives from the Linux community in the testing and
tweaking process.
“So, are open source advocates taking these results lying down?
You’ve got to be kidding.”
“PCWeek Labs agreed to host a new round of tests the week of
June 14, attended by representatives from Mindcraft, Microsoft, Red
Hat and Linux hardware vendor Penguin Computing Inc. The new
results came back that NT still outperforms Linux.”
Samba Team member Jeremy Allison adds:
“I got a bit misquoted :-). Firstly, I really *was* in Paris for
the Paris Linux Expo (anyone enjoy my talk ?).
“Secondly, I’m not working on Samba issues related to the
benchmark, I’m just working on normal Samba issues (as we know
Samba isn’t the bottleneck).
“Otherwise, not a bad article :-).”
