The register is a higly questionable source of information and this article is no exception. Click through to the actual article in question. It provides a fairly objective analysis of the two platforms. What I found most interesting about the article was where windows exceeded unix, rather then the other way around, and these seem to be performance related. IE if you know what you are doing, IIS is *FASTER* then Apache. Of course, I would never actually run IIS. Its a security nightmare. They have to give me at least a year with no vulnerabilities before I'll say its worth the effort. But, if its FASTER, that means fewer machines and smaller racks, and that stuff adds up. |
