This "study" is funded by Microsoft. (!)
And it is obviously biased.

The configuration of the Linux/Apache/Samba has many bottlenecks and
mistakes,
and the hardware is optimized (from what i understood) for windows.
There is a huge discussion (600+ messages) on Slashdot, specifying what
are the problems with the configuration. 

I never thought Microsoft will stoop so low as to making false
benchmarks,
though I know the MS Legal dept. is playing with videotapes.

As almost everyone knows, Linux eats NT for breakfast.
The only results of this benchmark are the loss of credibility to
Microsoft (not there there is any left) and Mindcraft, which has made
other "studies" which praise NT, and lower Solaris, Novell, and now
Linux.

Don't panic,
I believe the mainstream press (the ones who read linuxtoday) know about
this scam, and it's not going to be good for Microsoft at all.

Cheers,
Yoni.
