Several open source applications are available on both Linux as well as Windows. This gave Mohammed Saleh the idea of comparing the performance of various of these applications on both Ubuntu 8.04 as well as Windows XP SP3, to see which of the two performed better with certain applications. The results were rather interesting.

You say Ubuntu did better in the IO-intensive tasks, but then you blame the discrepancy on the fact that Ubuntu is on an ATA device instead of SATA. That would give it a *dis*advantage... and yet it still out-performs Windows.
