Another point of note is that on the Windows side they set a registry value to disable last access updates on the filesystem, yet did not mention doing the equivalent on the Linux side of mounting the filesystems with the noatime option. How much difference that would make in this setting I don't know.
Overall though, this report does seem to be far less (at least obviously) imbalanced than previous ones, but it's still testing a Microsoft controlled protocol versus the people who have to reverse engineer it. Also, I'd rather they tested with an 'off-the-shelf' version of Windows 2003 Server; we've no way of knowing whether they got a 'tweaked' one.
So, when do we get the NFS test?
