Well, I'd have to argue that those points probably are somewhat valid 
(although I don't think it takes *too* much searching to at least come up 
with some optimizations for linux).  However, it did clearly point out the 
fact that the tests were run with a highly tuned nt server and a linux 
kernel that wasn't really tuned at all.  It also pointed out that on a 
platform that's on the lower end of the spectrum that linux will 
consistently outperform nt.
