Harvey, I haven't seen performance numbers as yet, but it would be platform dependant or bounded. Since SUNW has some pretty hot workstations and UNIX is no slouch, I'm sure an Ultra would outperform just about any NT 4.0 workstation. However, not everyone needs a dumptruck to haul yard clippings, when a small truck will do. I think it can best be veiwed as who will have more volume, and will Intel up the price/perfomance bar a few more ticks in the coming years. One must really look at what kind of web server you're talking about. Small companies, inter-office, "Intranets" etc. would be well served by an NT solution (regardless of the actual httpd brand). Companies with business on the public Internet will probably opt for Sparc's. At the very least an NT workstation would make a great POP3, SMTP mail server for both Internet/Intranet servers. Or even a DNS name server, keeping the web page server on the big machine. Most ISP's currently use two or three computers for these three functions today, thus isolating a problem in one from the other.
