Can you provide a link?
Here is what I found in comparing "commercial" UNIX with Windows 2000.

Wow, it's hard to believe that Microsoft would have pro-Microsoft information on their own web site. I actually recently posted the article on this site where Microsoft admitted Linux had a lower or equal TCO. Problem is, I just searched this site and can't seem to find it, or remember where I saw it.
Now, it's going to be hard for you to find unbiased comparisons but you can certainly search google for compaisons. You will find numbers supporting both sides. What you have to be able to do is see through the bias and who or what companies are behind the study.
Personnally, I don't need other people to figure this out for me. I am smart enough to know that if I need a solution that can be solved by both Windows or Linux, Linux wins *every* time.

i thought amazon.com switched to linux or something, or am i thinking about the wrong company agian.

Amazon did switch to Linux but switch from Solaris as far as I know. So UNIX is eating UNIX not UNIX is earing NT.

Now, that a lot of information to crunch.
So you basically saying that Linux/UNIX is better becouse .... becouse it's better.
Just wondering if ecommerce application like bn.com or dell.com or allstate.com would fall under your "serious number crunching" category.
Please if you want to say something then backup it with some data.
