I dual boot Linux and OS X on my Macbook. I've consistently found that OS X provides me with about 30 minutes more battery time. This is even after running Powertop and turning off services I do not need.
While OS X server has sod all market share, perhaps it would have been interesting to put some Xserves into the mix? My anecdotal experience suggests that it's fairly good when it comes to power management.
