Rick, you're right on target here; a number of the industry publisher like ZD and IDG have had articles thart come to much the same conclusion - the latest round of tests, where the Linux people were given the opportunity to tweak Linux extensively prior to the benchmark, still shows NT well ahead on anything but low-end, lightweight hardware, and it's getting harder and harder for the Linux crowd to cry "Foul" since they've been given the chance to getr the install the way they want it prior to the testing.
