As with all so-called "comparisons" this test is pretty highly
biased. If you select your programs and tasks carefully, you can make
just about any manufacturer's product appear to be the "fastest".
All manufacturers (and their partisans) do this--doesn't matter if
it's Mac vs. PC, DB2 vs. Oracle, or whatever.
The funny thing is that people still seem to care about this sort of
thing (it obviously sells magazines, or the journalists would stop
writing them). Why is beyond me.
BTW, If you want to see what the Mac bigots say in response to this
PC bigot see <http://www.macnn.com/news.php?id=17351>--it's really
kind of funny how worked up people get over this....
