To me it is all down to the fact that Microsoft paid for the benchmark. With Microsoft's well known and documented history of being duplicitous, it simply tranishes what may have otherwise been a legitimate benchmark. (Remember the fictional girl switching from Mac to Windows, and what about the video presentation given to DOJ that was made up of splices from different films...)
It is also very reminescent of the Mindcraft benchmark Microsoft paid for a few years back pitting Linux against Windows 2000 and it was the same deal all over again. http://www.mindcraft.com/whitepapers/openbench1.html There were a a huge number of issues that popped up in the way that Linux was configured and the whole thing could be summarized as A) Microsoft got what they paid for and B) The Mindcraft people did not know what the hell they were doing with Linux. http://old.lwn.net/1999/features/MindCraft1.0.phtml I am not sure what Mindcraft is doing now, but I am sure we do not hear much from them anymore. I hope this does not happen to TSS, but once you sell your soul to Microsoft, it is a steep price to buy it back. //Nicholas Samba was not configured properly, they d --- Juan Pablo Lorandi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The original article: > > <http://www.middleware-company.com/j2eedotnetbench/> > http://www.middleware-company.com/j2eedotnetbench/ > > The analisys on the benchmark by Rickard Oberg. > <http://dreambean.com/petstore.html> > http://dreambean.com/petstore.html > > Comments? > > Juan Pablo Lorandi > Chief Software Architect > Code Foundry Ltd. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Barberstown, Straffan, Co.
