While I was thinking about why on earth M$ would want to give Linus a million
dollars, I started thinking about Mindcraft. I read the article the other day
on slashdot and previous articles a few weeks ago. Whats the general take on
this survey? I can't believe that NT is decent enough to outperform both Linux
and Solaris in high volume situations. Is this just a case of Redmond blowing
crap out their ass again? My own experience with NTServer is that it needs a
good rebooting often and that it doesn't take a lot to make it fall over.
Thats on our little network with 8 machines and 4 regular users. We run the
webserver off it but that doesn't get many hits. I'd hate to be running
something the size of Yahoo or AOL on it - actually I'd be just too scared!
I'd have to live in work pe4rmanently and ditch any social life I have. Is the
survey accurate and why are the main figures in the Linux community so slow to
respond to its findings?
