Slow like unix/oracle huh?

note that some of the others cost $21 dollars or so and you say damn! they won but then you look at the number of transactions and realize that they processes half as many transactions per minute meaning that the transactions take twice as long. so you save $1 but it takes twice as long or twice as many systems.

If anybody wants a single reason why Sun and Oracle are gunning for Microsoft, it's because their days of high-margin, fat-laden contracts are over. All that you have to do is look at the TPC numbers and it becomes clear. I'm still waiting for Ellison to pay up on his $1M challenge to anyone who could defeat Oracle's TPC numbers.
