Even though the EULA accompanying the beta build of Windows 7 prohibits the publication of benchmark results (good luck enforcing that one, Redmond), everybody and their dog will still compare the Windows 7 beta to Vista and Windows XP. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes is one of those benchmarking the beta, and according to his results, the Windows 7 beta beats both Vista and XP in just about every scenario.

It seems like thoughs benchmarks are as useless as a chocolate fireguard, all the numbers you see are 1,2,3 and Windows 7 shows halving the performance of Vista and XP.
Looks to me now that both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 really are service packs with performance tweaks, I'd rather keep my money thanks(not that I would buy them but from a outside stance I wouldn't).
