Although I new Linux would fare the best, the poor performance of Windows XP was a surprise. Windows 2000 actually did better than XP!"

    I'm a fan of Slashdot, but I get a little sick of the Windows/Linux comparisons, -especially- when the post includes something like "but THIS test shows that Linux rocks!" Yay. Are we going to argue over PCs vs. Macs next?
