Subject: LAN Mag:  NT better than unix - Why?
To: questions@freebsd.org
Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

On page 92 of LAN mag., they push NT over unix for httpd.  

"The NT server will blow the doors off that unix server."  

They cite the reasons as follows:  NT is multithreaded, and it has a 
richer socket interface.

HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH THAT?

Doesn't unix also have threaded support?  And how does a socket 
interface increase performance?  

How do you cut through all the hype?
