And the mac wins!

I found other areas where the Mac won hands down over a better
configured PC:

1. Better utilizes CPU and gives much better performance over similar
or higher configured PC's.

2. File transfer over a wifi network 10X faster than much, much faster
PC.

3. Video playback much faster, lesser crashes than much better
configured PC.

I am surprised that when you consider a program which can be installed
on a PC & a Mac, the Mac runs it better and faster even on lesser
hardware.

We a comparing a 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM laptop with a 1.6 GHz, 2 GB RAM air.
I am wondering whether this is because the PC development tools are
too much backwards compatible that it is dragging it back.

You must have read my previous posts on www.todayamerican.com on how
Vista bests XP in some ways?

Well I think the very advantage of a PC - that it has more programs is
it's undoing, because definitely it has quantity, but not much quality
(in comparison).

I have tried out various Windows flavors on different hardware, the
only one I have liked is windows 2008 server. Vista is not adequately
performant even on very expensive machines ($4000+).

I think the next step for any long term windows user is a mac -
because of it's speed, performance & stability.
