On a somewhat offtopic side note...this goes to the person that was complaining about not having a fully function IIS on XP...on Vista, you get a fully function IIS whose only limitation was the number of concurrent connections. I wish I would have grabed the url, but in looking for some info IIS and Vista, I ran across a blog written by an MS development manager. Apparently they got a lot a backlash over the "developer edition" of IIS. He said after that experience, he vowed never to let that happen again. Vista is pretty cool BTW...I just installed it this weekend.

They change just one variable of significance: vendor. If you are a bank and you buy a system to process financial transactions, or if you are a retailer with several hundred outlets and a dozen warehouses and you buy a system to manage you supplies, you don't go shop for some hardware from one vendor, an OS from another vendor and a database from a third vendor. You go shop to some integrator where you buy the whole system and who warrants not just the individual components, but also their integration. Representing TPC-C as just a database benchmark and then claiming it to be invalid is a Straw Man fallacy.
