Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y PCMag compared Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS X to one another. "Now that the major OSs all run on Intel chips, the playing field is pretty leveled out. We compared the heavy hitters in an eight-point test to find who wins the OS battle."

I think the issue here is that this document was not written, at all, for the kind of crowd that frequents osnews.com.

I'd agree that it was not meant for the crowd that frequents OSnews; knowledgable, inquisitive, not blindly accepting of poor journalism...

I'd add that it was also of no use to the crowd that doesn't read OSnews with the kind of unbalanced comparison and completely uninformed comparison it presented.

Now, I'm not going to start talkign kernels and intimate details with the non-OSnews, non-techie type but I'd at least provide a balanced review of all three platforms running on the same hardware. I'd probably include BSD in there too if I was focusing on the more technical but not techie reader.. say.. the type who would read computer magazines.
