there is a HUGE difference in terms of "reality" when we talk about a system with 2240 disk spindles and one of 2 external storage units of 14 drives each. Not even remotely related...

In fact, in most places I go to if I show them the numbers in that link, they'll just ignore me and go buy whatever crap the IBM sales rep is flogging that week!

Now, of course these documents are useful to find out what sorts of tricks they do re services in Windoze and so on. I've found those other ways. In fact, they are documented in M$'s Tech Notes. But yes, the docs above are also useful.
