Oh it's not hard to believe that IIS/Windows is more poorly coded.  I 
just try to remain objective, because I know I have a prejudice against 
windows.  It's too easy to be a cheer leader, and I would much rather be 
a cheer leader with provable facts then a suspicious picture. 

We don't know how complex the page was that was loaded, it might have 
been a corner case for Windows. It might have been "out of all these web 
pages, this one goes hog wild on windows, let's use that one."  We don't 
know what all those calls are, they could be stubs for all we know.  We 
don't even know if those pictures were made from tracing live code or 
running a program to examine the source code.

It's a good story, worthy of MS itself. But if the pictures were 
reversed wouldn't you be calling FUD?
