Comment Whatever Happens, Its good for linux (Score 1) 322
Although I think NT will almost certainly beat linux in this test (due to chosen hardware), this test will probably be good for linux in general as it will give incentive for a lot more development to be done on stuff like SMP, and > 2 GB memory.
I really hate it when dads boss (a linux hater) sends me newspaper clippings with headlines like "Linux fails the High End Test".
2GB memory max, and 2GB file max seem to generate the most flak, poor SMP performance also. (if i ever did any kernel hacking (i wish) the 2GB limit would probably be the first priority)
After saying that, I have to admit I will feel pretty depressed when the results of the test come out, being a linux supporter.
