For instance, I like everyone to share my code, but I don't like people taking my code and then make money off it.Maybe you like it, but I surely don't :)xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inconnu1405241515 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2006 What is the virtue of publishing this report, from Microsoft's view?It would have been much more interesting to analyze that point than to be blinded by the fact that, in some benchmarks, Windows scores less. Read the whole document, as the original poster suggests, and think over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qwijibow 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2006 What is the virtue of publishing this report, from Microsoft's view? Read the whole document, as the original poster suggests, and think over.I think alot of people have comented without reading the article.the article is intented to show that the technology "singularity" will beat all current OS in certain area's. (some ideas sound really good)but in the porcess, they also show linux being able to do some things much ore efficiantly, for example, start new porcess threads.but hey... we never know what linux 3.0 will hold The actual content of the study compareing current windows with current linux is a little trivial... its like compareing apples and pears and finding some apples are usually more round, and pears are usually less shiny.abut the reason i posted this link, was that it seemed to contradict the GET THE FACTS campain, which shows windows beeing twice as efficiant as linux in web serving.

Jeigh1405241495 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2006 I'm glad you people pointed that out, because reading the first page of posts it was bugging me that people seemed to think the whole article was M$ bashing themselves But yes, I would say this study is more reliable then the studies their marketing department uses, since it doesn't make windows look like ambrosia and it's not some random company doing the study as M$ pours dollars in their bank account to ensure 'correct' results :| Whether you like windows or microsoft or not, they aren't stupid. They know how to make themselves look better then they are, but its not like they all believe that... they just pretend to :)But the singularity project seems pretty interesting, I didn't read the whole article but read a hadnful of sections that seemed interesting and it's cool that they are putting effort into this.
