There is nothing per se better about Windows as far as TSM alone is
concerned; functionalities are almost identical.

The difference is in the hardware. IBM's pSeries hardware is *far* more
robust and configurable than Intel-based hardware. I/O, memory,
processors--almost every resource will give greater performance, hands
down.

This naturally means you'll pay a lot more for a IBM pSeries server than
you will for a comparably equipped Intel server.
