Doubtful... Windows will do better on multiproc machines than Mac OS X because it has finer-grained locking and is fully preemptible, which Mac OS is not. Until relatively recently, OS X was governed by a rather small number of large locks: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2028.html#MacOSXKernelThr...
OS X might have some advantages over Vista, but it's Kernel is not likely to be one of them. NT is pretty hard to beat.

Yes. And so tecno-babble about PPC superiority goes to hell finally. Now it's time to benchmark on market standards. I cannot wait to see :
a) It Windowz can be installed on it and run
b) Linux should work out of the box, but kernel guys will keep up shortly
c) a three boot system, to benchmark
