Okay ... MS got good numbers, so assume that system was so tweaked that no other program else might be running on it for all we know. Launch a local IE and see the TPC-C go down ... (I know, sometimes I can be evil ...)
But TPC-C doesn't care about the effect of virus attacks? Available exploits? BSOD? Now that itanium is 64bit and faster, would you see a BSOD appear faster?
I don't hate MS, I just like them less than I like Unix
systems... that's all, it is a personal preference.

For your amusement, MS thinks they can "now" equal Oracle in
performance
(wasn't that what they claimed 3 years
ago?).
Anyway, I tend to think of these benchmarks like
the NASCAR winners. Yeah
I'm going to go by a Chrysler
because it won the NASCAR championship.
