Sorry, no, it doesn't explain it at all! I already know COM+ is delivered on Windows 2000 and above. But the TPC benchmark table talks about AIX, which is a Unix, not Windows! Why do they say AIX, not Windows if they're running COM+?
"In fact, it's usually used as the TP monitor in TPC-C benchmark systems because it's more efficient than .Net or Java and much cheaper than Tuxedo or Encina (which reduces the $/TPM)."
