[ale] OS Wars the Series

[Wandered Inn]

A couple of things I would note.  First of all, stability of NT is still
truly an issue.  Would you prefer the difference in throughput that NT
(apparently) provides, or the ability to have your server always
available?

Samba is a great tool, but the fact remains that without Microsoft's
cooperation, it's hard to 'talk' their protocol.

Finally, I unfortunately believe that both the sites that are provided,
are biased towards Microsoft.  I'm not saying they are lieing, but they
have a vested interest in Microsoft looking good.  I mean we are talking
about the 'Windows Users Group Network' and PC Magazines.  Zdnet has
historically (for the most part) leaned the Microsoft way.

What I'd like to see is a test done by a totally unbiased organization. 
Who?  I have no idea...
