Actually, NT has absoultely sorry support for multiple processors.  You
can gain maybe 10 - 15% max with a second processor.  When the PIIs
first came out, we got a dual-266 system (June of '97 maybe?), ran it
with NT for a couple of weeks, it was awful.  We took out the second
processor, reinstalled, and it ran much better.  Is that the
"full-fledged support" that we want Linux to get?
