07/29/2004: "Benchmarks: Who is faster Microsoft, Oracle or Sun ?"

I started programming in .NET back in 2000 and took as a given that .NET is somewhat faster than Java because it is better optimised for Windows than Java. To my greatest surprise, Sun and Oracle came up with their own benchmarks that show pretty much the opposite to what Microsoft found.
Who do you think is right?
