I read an interesting article last year written by a Windows guru.  He set 
out to compare interprocess pipes for Linux (2.4 kernel), Win2K and WinXP.  
He admitted to being surprised by the results and I admire his integrity 
in putting them out in a (largely) unbiased form.  He tried to play down 
Linux's success a bit but what it amounted to was the Linux was twice as 
fast at as Win2K and Win2K was twice as fast as WinXP in the area he was 
investigating.  I originally found the report on ibm.com
