We haven't noticed any performance decrease since switching from Windows NT
4 to SQL Server 7. If anything, performance as increased, but that can be
attributed to the new hardware.
I read something about this on Slashdot. It wasn't clear as to what they
were actually testing. If I remember correctly, Microsoft attributed the
performance issue to the network card. If this were true, this would be more
an issue with the hardware driver manufacturer, than SQL Server or even
Windows 2000.
In any case, the article I read gave no hard evidence and didn't even hint
as to what, specifically, was being tested. If you find out more
information, please post it to the list.

Subject: SQL Server 7 on NT4 and WK2
A bit off topic, but very interesting...
Cringely's column in this week's InfoWorld indicated that tests done by an
independent lab for Network World showed that SQL Server 7 runs almost
twice as fast on Windows NT4 as it does on Win 2000.
Very interesting if true.
Can any of you confirm similar differences in this regard -- or have
different results ??
