Can you trust benchmark data from Microsoft?
I know you can because I know Greg Leake, the Microsoft guy who put this new benchmark data together. You will find some really useful information comparing .NET 3.5/Windows Server 2008 to IBM WebSphere 6.1/Red Hat Linux Web Service performance here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/cc302396.aspx.
If you want the short story here it is.
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 offers a complete Application Server Role featuring .NET Framework 3.5, Internet Information Services 7.0, MSMQ message queuing, and a comprehensive feature set for building high-performance, server-based applications using Visual Studio 2008. Windows Server 2008 with .NET Framework 3.5 offers compelling performance and scalability for both intranet based enterprise applications, and Internet-based applications. As documented in this paper, Windows Server 2008 and .NET outperform IBM WebSphere 6.1 on Red Hat Linux by wide margins for key application server workloads.

Greg will have a lot more where this came from in the coming weeks. Greg is also going to take his work on the road, sharing with customers, press, partners, etc. Look for him soon in a City near you.
