Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 is 2.5 times faster than Linux as a File Server and 3.7 times faster as a Web Server" No, No, No, Eric, that can't be! Toy and the rest of the softy-hating crowd have made numerous posts proving that Linux is going to wipe out Microsoft. Anything to the contrary has to be lies.

Mindcraft has a long and glorious history of giving benchmark wins to the highest bidder. You can view some of the technical flaws of their benchmarks at the following address lwn.net The gist is this: Take a stock WinNT system and tweak it extensively, then take a Linux system and cripple it, claiming that you cannot find information on performance tuning. Then publish the results.
