Alan,
how bad would it seem to be if one said Microsoft
had actually setup and tested Linux by themselves
(by Microsoft Employees), where Mindcraft was
simply used as a cover-up!!!
I have proof that the person who posted the newsgroup
messages for help, is actually working for Microsoft.
Would not this immediately make the testing results
invalid, just because they violated the principle of
independent testing?

The benchmark to set up for this is
Quad 100Mbit ethernet
AMD K6/3-400
Motherboard with a pre K6/3 bios so that Linux and not NT set the
cache right
Symbios or Adaptec controllers and a disk array that has very deep
tagging
so that NT can't make good use of it
No hardware raid "NT unfortunately wasn't able to make good use of
the disks"
16Mb of RAM (32 at max)
All mounted -o noatime "We couldn't find a way to tell NT not to do
metadata
updates"
