  1. Win32 apps will run faster than OSX apps by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    For example, Photoshop for Windows will be much faster than the current version of Photoshop for MacOSX (PPC native), Mathematica 5.2 for windows will be much faster than Mathematica 5.2 for Mac OSX, etc.

    This is hardly news. In 1998 on my 300MHZ Wallstreet Powerbook, MS Office for Windows was much faster under SoftWindows+Win 98, than the native MS Office for Mac. Exactly the same macros were running more than twice faster under SoftWindowsw than under MacOS.
