Well I read the article. Summary... Well it looks to me that some bright guys at MS analyzed the resource requirement for serving web pages and identified some bottle necks and the architectured NT to solve that problem very well. Now the open Source people will have a look and as Linux I believe is fundamentally simple and more symmetric will modify the kernel and Linux will run this particular task as fast or faster. Of course, Linux will still boot 5 times faster than NT. Linux will still give a minimum twice as fast apparent response to most (99.9%) other tasks. And of course Linux will still be billions and billions of times as stable as virus-borgus-nt-us. Which is to say maybe NT was faster and could sustain that rate for an hour before crashing and Linux at it's max rate would operate until the Sun goes Super Nova. But to be fair I'm sure if NT was operating at 20% of the maximum Linux rate it would stay up for at least 1 hour and 53 seconds. But I won't bet on the 53 seconds. Tom Watson tosiwmee
