In a Microsoft sponsored study comparing Windows 2000 with
SuSE 6.4 and Red Hat 6.2, Windows 2000 triumphed over its open
source rivals.
Translated by babelfish:
“Network: Windows 2000 before Linux.”
“In the study the TUEVIT on behalf of Microsoft checked whether
Windows is 2000 or Linux as operating system better with the
application in the enterprise network for 50 users prepared. The
examiners consider ergonomics, costs, stability availability and
security. A summary of the investigation offers the TUEV in the
Web. The result: Windows 2000 cuts off better than the examined
Linux distributions Suse 6,4 and Red Hat 6.2.”
“As far as from the summary can be inferred, the test report
comes however in some places hardly beyond the usual general
workstations. At Windows 2000 as servers the TUEV praises the
directory service (Active directory) anyhow. Under Linux it puts
out, which the administrator much has to complete on the command
line and with scripts. In some points the TUEV divides however to
both systems equally out: Thus he diagnoses substantial Potenzial
with both ” for increase the self description ability ” and does
not reprimand thereby the not fulfilled requirement to bring users
purposefully to a problem solution more near. ( HP / c’t).”
