:> Generally, a fair test on a level playing field. : : Same hardware is not a level playing field. Sensible people optimize the :hardware for the operating system they plan to use. I could show you Linux :and NT beating the stuffing out of FreeBSD by using my MX98713 network card :in 100Mbps half duplex mode. For some reason FreeBSD chokes on it. : : DS Well then, you need to find hardware that is equally agreeable, or as close to equally agreeable as you can get, to _all_ operating systems. Running the tests on different hardware just gives the critics one more thing to be critical of. I don't belive that you can have a "level playing field" without the same hardware.
