Re: Perhaps Windows 2000 can make better use...

"Performance for the eight-ways has been 1.7 times that of a four-way server running Windows NT, and better than twice the performance of a four-way server running Windows 2000."

Perhaps the reverse? If they've run production on the 8-way for 4 months, it was probably NT, not W2K. And the W2K could have been running Beta 2 or 3, which still had enough debug code and lack of final tuning to account for the difference.
