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).

"Install the OS, do the timings, clear the machine, install the other OS, do the timings again. "
You don't even need to wipe out one OS to install another. You can simply install both in the same time and dual boot.
Edit: on the same machine I mean (just to clarify things).
