    Me neither. But. I think the answer is much simpler here: Microsoft doesn’t make their money with schedulers, but bundling that Office and tracking to everybody, and charging rent every month. They have way less people working on making the kernel as fast as possible, compared to Linux where:

    • there are many companies running crazy workloads 24/7, and providing patches
    • very talented individual hackers who have an open source kernel and can play around with things, getting that last oomph out from their system

    This is why, for a pro user, Linux is an amazing platform.
