Microsoft is planning to ship its next major version of Windows - known internally as version '7' - within roughly three years, CNET News.com has learned. The company discussed Windows 7 on Thursday at a conference for its field sales force in Orlando, Fla., according to sources close to the company. While the company provided few details, Windows 7, the next client version of the operating system, will be among the steps taken by Microsoft to establish a more predictable release schedule, according to sources. The company plans a more 'iterative' process of information disclosure to business customers and partners, sources said.

How the f--k does that have anything to do with his assertion that winnt is more advanced than Unix?
I'd like to see technical proof from various sorces to bakc up either claim.

Fair enough ... about what you would like. Rest assured that you won't see any real technical proof (one way or another) ... Winnt is closed proprietary technology, and the vendor of Winnt has a strong interest in non-disclosure of technical details and "cooking the books" as far as any performace metrics go ... and in addition that vendor has a large slush fund for financing *cough* "studies".
Let's just observe that virtually all of the viruses, rootkits, botnets, spyware, adware, trojans, etc, etc out there in the wild are targetted for Winnt systems.
Let's just observe also that the large machines staffed by people who (1) know what they are doing, and who (2) are interested in performance, and (3) who actually achieve performance that ranks amongst the world's best ... most of them run Linux. Over 75% of them. For a lot of these people, money is not the issue ... performance is.
Lets also observe that in the latest version of Windows performance went backwards by a considerable step, mostly due to the vendor's obsession with spying on users and making sure that they cannot do things with their own machines.
