I hate Microsoft as much as the next self-respecting developer, but as a
Java developer, Sun has unfortunately made NT the best Java platform
(since this is the JServ mailing list). Check out the latest Volano JVM
stress tests (I think this has already been mentioned on this list, but
you should review the results).
http://www.javaworld.com/jw-03-1999/jw-03-volanomark.html?022399txt
Highlights include several JVMs on NT able to support up to 2100
simultaneous connections without choking, but Linux caps at 250
(roughly) because of file system sharing. Nevermind that the JITs on
Linux are less developed and stress-tests, so the performance is better
on NT. Better performance and scalability on NT. Never thought I'd say
that. That's the whole reason we're migrating so many other services
here to Linux (DNS, mail, dhcp, etc...).
Sorry, but like I said, I'm stuck with Windows because of Java...
