>a nice Microsoft surprise. How 'bout that! cool, W2K on track - it's Compaq, it's Intel inside and there is no penguin in it. In early October, SQL Server 2000 achieved a record-breaking TPC-C benchmark, delivering 505,302.77 transactions per minute (tpmC) on a 24-node Compaq ProLiant 8500 cluster of servers running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. This result represents the best-ever published TPC-C performance number, and at a price/performance ratio of $20.68/tpmC, is a third lower than the closest competitor.

Tony, And this part, which can't be too bad for Intel: ``Results were solid across all businesses, led by accelerating deployments of Windows®(R) 2000 Professional in the business sector and Windows Me in the consumer arena. We also continued to make great progress with our server products, proving our ability to deliver mission-critical solutions to customers such as Lycos, FreeMarkets, RadioShack, The Home Shopping Network and GMAC,'' said John Connors, chief financial officer at Microsoft. ``While we remain guarded about worldwide economic conditions, we are extremely enthusiastic about our Windows 2000 generation of server products.''
