  Windows inches up on Unix
Time: 10:25 EST/15:25 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson

The fifth-place ranking on the Transaction Performance Council's TPC-C speed test is an important step in Microsoft's years-long struggle to have its software used not only on PCs and low-end networked "server" computers, but also on high-end machines. Such servers often handle vital corporate computing tasks, such as tracking inventory or managing bank accounts.
