<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think your test proves that performance/price
ratio has turned in favor of pc's. Although it's not 'cool' to think so; aren't
we all suppose to say unix workstations are the best, windows pc's are for
kids...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but I am surprised that linux pc's where not faster
than windows pc's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used to work on HP unix stations (mainly c-code
with gcc-compiler), and now windows pc's. Althoug Microsoft's
not 'cool', it works for me - and I like working with Visual studio much
better than fiddling around with emacs and gcc...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>"My questions are:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Why are inexpensive PC archictectures beating pants off of Sun machines
that cost twice as much (but not alphas)?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What are Windows machines ahead of PC linux machines? I would have
thought the oppositive would be true.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone gone in either direction (Sun to Linux or visa versa) and what
were your experiences?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I get enough responses, I will post a IDL Sun vs PC summary.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
