And then move to the server benchmarks, where FreeBSD or linux would 
most definitely be a better choice to evaluate processor performance and 
data thruput, but they're still using Windows.  Makes one wonder if the 
processor design is a little "slanted" towards the Windows operating 
systems.

Ziff-Davis, for one, has published benchmark results showing Windows 
2000 Server beats x86 Linux and FreeBSD.  Can't find the link in my 
bookmarks, but a google search should turn it up, if you're interested. 
  If that's really true, then one could hypothesise that if x86 is 
indeed not optimized for Windows, then Windows is the superior operating 
system.
