I saw a graph of these tests and sure enough it showed a performance increase over Win2000, however the increase seemed to dwindle as clients increased towards 48 (hardly enterprise class loading).
I’d like to see some more tests done before I go expecting any great increase and in patriclular I’d like to seem some tests next to the latest Linux distros.
I went to read that hoping for some _real_ technical benchmarks and diagrams… But that was nothing more then a product plug.

Each version is always faster
Each version is more secure
Each version has less bugs
Each version has a lower cost of ownership
Each version …..
Marketing! I don’t mind it, because I know that is how they make their living.
It’s nice to see their products improving to try to beat Linux. In the end, it will fail, but it’s nice to see them trying!
I once saw a site that pointed to a indian IT site / newspaper with an add from MS in / on it. MS India was looking for people with knowledge of Unix CLI shells, posix and stuff.
I wonder if they will add a more powerfull shell then cmd in the next win OS.
There was literally no useful content in that article. No graphs, no tests, no detailed system specs. Nothing.
That was nothing more than marketing tripe.
I guess that’s free as in illegal.
Is that like how XP was faster than its predecessors?
re: each version
haha. I don’t mind it either because it never influences my purchasing decisions. But you’d be amazed at what some people will believe.
it was a little lacking on a thing call “details”, maybe in future propaganda, sorry, “informative articles” they can get into the nitty gritty?
As for what I want, I’ll stick with *BSD and *NIX, atleast I know that things are getting better rather than having sleepness nights over whether the latest patch that patches a patch for a patch that was supposed to patch a patch to patch a security hole actually worked.
>>Microsoft’s acquisition of Connectix’s virtual machine technology offers an upgrade path by allowing NT apps to run on a virtual server under WS 2003.
oh so thats what it was all about…
