No problem with Microsoft, other than their products don't work as advertized, such as WinNT 4.0 crashing when it's supposed to be mature and robust. I do have a problem with trolls such as yourself, though. Why don't you benchmark the RDBMS' yourself and post your results. We have done it already and would be delighted to see replication of our results.
<<I do have a problem with trolls such as yourself, though.>> I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you could actually define the term. But in any case there is no need for name calling, especially from someone logging in as "anonymous". <<Why don't you benchmark the RDBMS' yourself and post your results>> I never doubted the integrity of your results in the first place. I merely posted an opinion. I don't plan to waste any more time on whatever you might post,though.

This is not a troll and neither am I, but I noticed you cited your platform as: :Same platform: WinNT 4.0 spk1, Intel 266-MHz, 178 MB RAM, IDE drive I'm no fan of Microsoft either, but your NT system might crash less if you install service pack 4.
