I think he is stating that Novell outperforms Windows, which is pretty 
ambigious since we all know Windows by default has way to many 
services/daemons(opps, windows, apps) running that need to be shut-off to 
DRAMATICALLY improve performance of the server.  Novell does not (you 
must enable them)... so out of box, yes Novell beats Windows..  Tweaked.. 
gets better, but who knows..

Real point is.. TCP/IP is better Protocol than IPX..  the OS that runs it 
is what was tested.
