That's true. That's because in-depth comparisons tend to produce complex answers that basically boil down to "there are trade-offs." There used to be a lot more sites comparing them. But it seemed to me that the original correspondant should have done his *own* research comparing them. That's all. I wish there were people qualified enough on both systems to do a serious and fair comparison of the latest -STABLE (or the Linux analogue); it would be an interesting exercise.
