Win NT article on Linux deficiencies

[Billy Harvey <Billy.Harvey@thrillseeker.net>]

Could the more knowledgeable take a look at this?
http://www.winntmag.com/Magazine/Article.cfm?IssueID=97&ArticleID=4502 

It almost looks like it was written after the discussion a couple of
months ago about threads vs processes.  I'm particularly concerned
about the accuracy, and hence acceptance as gospel by industry due to
the source, of the concluding paragraph:

	How do these various limitations affect Linux's chance
	to compete with NT in the enterprise? With adequate OS
	support, enterprise server applications--including Web
	servers, database servers, and email servers--can
	efficiently use multiprocessors. For the next couple
	of years, Linux is stuck with being a valid choice for
	only small uniprocessor servers. None but the most
	CPU-intensive Linux applications will scale past one
	CPU, which makes Linux unacceptable as a
	multiprocessor OS, and therefore as an enterprise-class OS.

I'm not putting this out to encourge a bitch session about
FUDmongering.  I'm restricting the post to this group in an attempt to 
generate an adult discussion about the possible path to eliminate
these deficiencies, or if they even rate concern on the part of Linux
developers.

If anyone thinks a rebuttal to the magazine is in order for any
obvious errors, please keep it professional.
