I didn't besmirch anyone's professionalism.

NT has the baggage of needing to remain compatible (at least somewhat) with its IMHO poorly designed and implemented forebears. Also IMHO Unix has a lead of several years that Microsoft will be unable to close simply by throwing manpower at it -- read The Mythical Man Month for (anecdotal, I know) evidence of how hard that can be.

If MSFT is readily able to cure NT's performance, why hasn't it done so?

I have no clue what the last sentence in your first paragraph is trying to convey. Are you saying one or the other camp is blind to its own weaknesses? Which camp and what weaknesses?

JMHO, of course.
