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).

OK, I'm apparently an idiot. I haven't used Vista enough to notice the performance hits that article talks about. But the interface was smoother than in classic mode.
anyways...
