Hal - This religious issue was painfully visited a couple of months ago:
see the List archives.
A compelling argument for AIX is that NT's I/O system (at least through
NT4) has been a rather poor performer because of layering in the I/O
system. An article in the March 2000 issue of Computer Technology Review
cites a real-world example of getting 12MB/sec throughput on a PC running
Linux, but only 3MB/sec when it was running NT, for example. I haven't
seen numbers for Windows 2000, but would not expect dramatic improvements.
