Wow, interesting. I don't really honestly have the time nor energy to read a 40 page report, but I may download it later and glance through. It's entertaining, at the very least. I've liked Linux so far, and this report might provide even more reasons to stick with it!
And remind me, how much BSD code does Windows have in it again? Last check there were some major IP/stack and Kernel stuff almost cut and pasted from BSD to Windows NT/2k/XP in the last few years.
Sometimes I wonder how Windows can take BSD, screw it up and Apple can take BSD and improve it for the average user...
BSD technologies are easily taken due to the licensing issue. That's why I don't like the BSD licence.
The basic rule is that as long as you state the author and his copyrights, you can use the code and modify it and slap it to your own system. That's why I prefer the GPL better. GPL doesn't allow that. You can close-source a BSD licenced code. xboxrulz I will make the arguement that true people that like Opensource for the sake of totally free (as in speech and beer) software go with BSD licensed products. Before I went to work there (and Apple Shake was released) they had a video editing system that was in house and written expressly with NetBSD running on Alpha. The program used some highly intergrated and rewritten kernel processes. It was fair to say that they had written their own OS based on NetBSD designed to compiste scenes and nothing else. It was small light (in terms of ditro size) and allowed the max amount of the CPU to be used for rendering. Actually it is far more effecient that our current systems, but with death of Alpha and rise of Macintosh in UNix land it was decided it would be cheaper and easier to switch to industry standard applications. They were thinking of selling the OS for video production companies still running ALPHA, but like I said, those days are over...poor Alpha... Still, when I release code, I do it under BSD if I don't want to make money from it and I don't really care if someone else does. If they can, good for them, they were smarter than I was or put forth the effort I didn't want too. Hell I'm happy as a lark if someone uses my code. Personally I find that most GPL folks want free beer and don't care so much about the speech part. BSD folk want the freedom of speech, usage, and if you can use it to buy a fine bottle of wine: more power to you! GPL = Freedom of Speech* (please see dislaimer below) BSD = Freedom of Speech* (Just attach the copyright notice please, thank you)
well, it's a matter of choice right. For instance, I like everyone to share my code, but I don't like people taking my code and then make money off it.
Maybe you like it, but I surely don't  xboxrulz
What is the virtue of publishing this report, from Microsoft's view?
It would have been much more interesting to analyze that point than to be blinded by the fact that, in some benchmarks, Windows scores less. Read the whole document, as the original poster suggests, and think over. QUOTE What is the virtue of publishing this report, from Microsoft's view? QUOTE Read the whole document, as the original poster suggests, and think over. I think alot of people have comented without reading the article. the article is intented to show that the technology "singularity" will beat all current OS in certain area's. (some ideas sound really good) but in the porcess, they also show linux being able to do some things much ore efficiantly, for example, start new porcess threads. but hey... we never know what linux 3.0 will hold  The actual content of the study compareing current windows with current linux is a little trivial... its like compareing apples and pears and finding some apples are usually more round, and pears are usually less shiny. abut the reason i posted this link, was that it seemed to contradict the GET THE FACTS campain, which shows windows beeing twice as efficiant as linux in web serving.
I'm glad you people pointed that out, because reading the first page of posts it was bugging me that people seemed to think the whole article was M$ bashing themselves
But yes, I would say this study is more reliable then the studies their marketing department uses, since it doesn't make windows look like ambrosia and it's not some random company doing the study as M$ pours dollars in their bank account to ensure 'correct' results :| Whether you like windows or microsoft or not, they aren't stupid. They know how to make themselves look better then they are, but its not like they all believe that... they just pretend to But the singularity project seems pretty interesting, I didn't read the whole article but read a hadnful of sections that seemed interesting and it's cool that they are putting effort into this.
I think by the time singularity comes out, Linux 3.0 would be out. Linux is taking forever to just jump major versions, it's been 10 years, but development is going 1,500 km/s...
