In a recent post "PHP runs up to 130% faster on Windows Server 2008" there was a lot of discussion between Microsoft and some dedicated Linux fans about the report that was released about StreetDirectory.com's recent findings with Microsoft Server 2008.

Please note the findings were a specific case that the customer experienced with the following setup.

  System 1 System 2
Operating System Microsoft Server 2008 Linux (FreeBSD?)
Web Server IIS 7 Apache (2.2.8?)
Web Server Config FastCGI CGI

I would like to fill in more blanks, if anyone could contribute any more findings please don't hesitate to comment or drop me a message via Twitter/IM/Email etc. I would like to know hardware specifications that others can compare to.

At the moment we're unsure if they tested it against their current system which is FreeBSD or if they created a Linux system designed just for the test.
Just to nit pick. FreeBSD isn't linux. FreeBSD is a flavour of BSD. Much like Ubuntu us a flavour of linux.

I still don't understand why they didn't test php under fastCGI - I would have thought it would provide more comparative results. Oh well. Still interesting nevertheless.
