Never the less, someone posted, in response to someone else here just a few days ago, some very nice benchmarks provided by Kris ?Kenneway? I could be wrong on the last name, it just seems to me that's a last name I've seen with Kris frequently (my apologies Kris if I'm wrong). Using the URL that the other poster, posted, I poked around the other *.html files in that directory, but did not find any with FreeBSD pitted against windows. I'm just curious to see how it looks for my own sanity's sake. At work, someone got the grand idea that we should move to Windoze embedded (CE and XPe) and it's been quite discouraging I must say, though I must admit, it's nice to actually know why Windows is ugly underneath. From a programming perspective, it's just not simplistic. Anyway, I digress, I'm just curious to see how things compare to Windows on similar benchmarks to what Kris provided if its ever been done. Thanks, Andy
