Mac vs. PC Digital Photography Comparison

An anonymous reader writes "Rob Galbraith posted a comparison among two Macs and two PCs. Both a high-end Mac and PC are included with somewhat surprising results given the number of Mac zealots who will claim otherwise... optimized for PC, Mac support second, Photoshop is faster, yada, yada, yada."

I'm sure someone else will mention the Gimp...

I'd like to see the Gimp compared to everything else in the list. I am by no means a professional graphic designer, but I love the Gimp. I use it to touch up photo's, etc. Does it even compare to Photoshop where professionals are concerned?

And especially in terms of this article, would productivity improve if the Gimp was used on, say, a Linux box?
