This is true... The prblem being the top workstation companies spend thousands on testing high-end equipment, but equipment that likes being with each other. Many people have the "If its the best, most expensive and highest rated, lets buy it!" they just throw it together and thats about all.

Dell and Compaq (Compaq - eewww!) Spend a lot of money in R&D which enables the high-end equipment to operate at highend levels. This is one problem that a lot of people face.
I know several good high-end companies who only specialize in NT equipment and some of it does perform very nicely. Our 8 CPU P/Pro machine runs NT very nicely, but we don't use it for that - but it is designed as a corporate NT server.
