David Williams over at iTWire has done a comparison of Windows vs Linux. It is performed by doing functionally identical tasks in both the OSes. This comparison is not a fair one by any measure. The laptops running the Windows and Linux were different in the hardware config and the software used for the tests were comparable but clearly different (MS Office vs OpenOffice; IE vs Firefox 3).

Agreed, for the stats to mean anything the testing should have been done on the same machine.
Install the OS, do the timings, clear the machine, install the other OS, do the timings again.
Anything else is a waste of space. I am sorry I read the article, it was just one big Linux advert.
We Linux users neither need or like sites like this
