Dunno. I can't for the life of me even fathom how does one compare the performance of SS7 on NT as being close to O8 on Unix. Based on what? Same CPU? Same I/O configuration? Same memory? Or just marketing hype?
Hence the question, to which I believe I should have added a traditional <d&r> or something like that to emphasize the inconsistency of the comparison parameters.
