James, The following link shows you the potential SUN and Intel alliance. zdnet.com Maybe, someday wintel will become suntel. And window 2000 sees itself obsolete as soon as it comes out. Go SUNW!

These results are interesting for one reason only - that Oracle, Informix, IBM and Sybase (original developers of MS sql*server) cant get close to these results on NT (hint..DOJ). So you can only get these results on a Microsoft OS and a Microsoft database - sounds like the typical Data Center environment - right? Its clear that Microsoft is investing a lot in TPC-C results and theyve goosed this number pretty high - then again we may have the same situation when NCR came out with a TPC-D result 3 times any existing result thru optimizing the queries on pre-sorted tables - soon after the TPC invalidated TPC-D saying that it failed to represent real world results - were probably headed that way with TPC-C - are customers fooled? Nothings changed - Benchmarks are just a game of how much your willing to invest and Microsoft will probably outspend everyone cause they have to compensate for something called a reliable product.
