David, you just don't get it. In the real world, whole system implementations need to work well, not merely pass artificial benchmarks. This includes reliability considerations. MS products suck out loud in this department. They unnecessarily cost money and time, not to mention adding to staff and user stress levels. As I discovered with MS SQL Server, it's the cheaper product for which you pay over and over again, at least until you replace it, as I did.
I don't give a wet rat's ass about what Sun and Oracle claim in benchmarks. As I indicated previously, benchmarks are a minor consideration in the scheme of things, irrespective of source. I do know from firsthand experience that their products demonstrate far greater reliability than anything MS cares to offer.
As I indicated before, the Sun vs. MS dialog is pretty much an artificial circle jerk, so I will chose not to add to it any further. Viewed in this light, it's not surprising that you can't seem to get enough of it.
As for name-calling, just what name did I call you? If you would like me to fill in that blank, just say so, I'll send you a list from which you can chose. |
