Re: IceBreak as an alternative to Apache?


I do not agree with this conclusion. The single largest reason for
large amounts of memory being needed for a Windows machine is the
graphics module which the IBM i doesn't have. Just see how much more
the Aero capability for Vista/7 requires in terms of computer power (but
it is nice).

You may not agree with my conclusion, but I don't agree with yours, either. There's simply no reason for graphics to require a gigabyte of memory. My PS3 has graphics that are as good as Windows and yet only requires 256MB of memory. If you're saying that the graphics engine on Windows is the main driver behind the gigabyte requirement then that's some horribly bloated code.


So, yes, other operating systems have shared code. But like so many
things, the i has had it for a much longer time. The IBM i - we have
technology before technology is cool<smile>.
I agree that the i appears to be very efficient in how things work.

"appears"?? Heeeee! Yes, and the Sun appears to be hot, doesn't it? :)
