For me, and in spite of the dubious source, this benchmarks have
the special importance of being the first ones (correct me if I am wrong)
concerning linux SMP 2.2.x. Moreover they seem to imply that linux
doesn't scale as well as Win NT, though it's no clear if the problem
was with the kernel itself or with Apache and Samba.
In my, non expert, opinion factors of 2.5 and 3.7 are not easily
justified by the "simple" fact they used a non tweaked stock kernel
and some poorly configured samba server (BTW I haven't seen any
justification for the Apache results).
On the other hand I don't find it so easy (as many others)
to dismiss this results based solely on suspicious relations
between Mindcraft and Microsoft instead of the technical facts.
But then again, I may just be to naive...
