>the NT kernel is much more sophisticated and powerful than Linux

Source?

It's not sophisticated enough or powerful enough to be the most used kernel on super computers (and in the world). Windows pretty much only dominates the desktop market. Servers, super computers, mainframes, etc, mostly use Linux.

A few years ago there was even a bug in Windows that caused degradation in network performance during multimedia playback that was directly connected with mechanisms employed by the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS), this is used on a lot of audio setups. If they can't even get audio setups right how can people consider anything Windows releases "sophisticated"?

It's made to do anything you throw at it I guess, it's definitely complicated, but powerful and sophisticated aren't words I would use to describe NT.
