Don't top post - can I suggest you use a decent news reader? As you see, your ugly format/utility cuts off the rest of the thread.

Point is: a decent Linux will deliver better throughput on the *same* hardware. Changed 'twice the' into 'better'. Can't substantiate twice, can better.

And personally, I'd love to see you stop promoting non-oracle stuff here. It's annoying; most people here hate Microsoft anyway. Just a little further, and you're spamming.
