I can't say I would recommend the article, although it's a good source
for references.

It's extremely biased towards LinuxOS. It also follows the rule that if
you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bulls**t. One
prominent example: "GNU/Linux with TUX produced better SPEC values than
Windows/IIS". TUX is not a real-world web server, as it only serves
static web pages.
