Hi guys,
just had an interesting chat with some people working for Microsoft
Research... (whom I shall not name)
And surprise, surprise -- they actually do benchmark Windows against Linux :-)
In fact they have a "Linux Advisory Group" within MS :-)
Their results just confirm the obvious: in certain areas, like storage handling
and uptime reliability, Linux wins. On usability and ease of installation,
Windows wins.
I would love to have a version of Linux that can support Windows applications
seamlessly and that can allow normal users to actually *use it* without all the
hassle involved, but I think that for now Linux will remain a server and/or
geek oriented OS.
Cheers,
Angelo Dalli
