Stupid Responses
Do either of you really have a clue? This has nothing to do with the operating systems. DOS attacks like this would have been dealt with and potentially stopped at the perimeter network not the individual servers. ANY OS can be take down with a DOS attack.

This is the same sort of lame argument that passed the time in school: "Ford vs. Chevy" or "Which Enterprise captain was the best". Grow up.
