.NET, WebSphere go head to head in study

Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET platform performs "significantly better" than IBM's 2EE-based WebSphere Studio, according to a study released Tuesday by The Middleware Company (TMC), owners of the popular TheServerSide developer communities.
While the findings provide developers with a good indication of the benefits of Windows Server 2003 over Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1, the study was ostensibly designed to weigh the merits of developing enterprise applications using Visual Studio .NET or WebSphere Studio.
The report said the integrated .NET run-time features within Server 2003 saved Team .NET a lot of headaches because of its built-in Web server, load balancing and session and message servers.
