With Snow Leopard finally been given a release date and a price, the comparisons with Windows 7 are starting to pop up all over the place, especially focussing on the price aspect of things. While Apple's move to price Snow Leopard at 29 USD for Leopard owners is a very welcome one, the move doesn't mean that Microsoft is getting a price beating from Apple.

Windows 7 runs poorly for me on a single core P4 630@3ghz. This is with 2 GB of RAM and a decent video card. It seems that it struggles and uses just as much memory as Vista did. It can't handle HD video (720p) .mkv files without stuttering. (this is not unusual for a non dual core processor). Windows 7 (and Vista too) run really well on my quad core machine with 6GB of RAM and a Radeon 4870 video card. I'm not complaining about windows 7, it seems to be Vista without all of the annoying little issues. However, ever since SP2 came out for Vista, I think it is a really good OS. Stable and fast on multi-core systems.
