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.

You are right because most innovation is done under the hood (APIs, Performance Tweaks, etc...)
You are wrong because those new APIs will allow application developpers (including Apple) to channel those new APIs into NICE applications.
As an Application Developper myself, I will probably buy it

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).

How the hell does Snow Leopard become involved in this as a service pack?
The kernel, filesystem, user space and application sets from Apple are moving to Cocoa. How is that a service pack?

Errrr, because users don't give a damn about Cocoa, it isn't going to make any direct difference to them and it is purely a developer thing that Apple cocked up?
