What email program do you use at work? In modern versions of outlook you can't even run an exe if you want to.
What safeguards would "Guido von Guido" suggest? If your email app supports running attachments, and you have HUMANS working at your company, you will always have a virus/worm problem. ALWAYS!
The next test was Photoshop. This is the one app you benchmarked in which some 64-bit optimisations have taken place for the Mac, and is also an app that many people use on the Apple platform. In this test, the G5 beat everything on offer from the x86 world by quite a handy margin.
The Polywell Polystation with Two 2-GHz Opteron Model 246s won that one in both the 50MB and 150MB. It beat the Mac by 1 second in 50MB and 4 seconds for the 150MB.
And final cut pro isn't available for Windows and Mac OS X won't run on an Athlon so how would you test that?
Also, this is testing the highest end pcs for both the Apple G5 and the Athlon 64/Opteron, so why shouldn't they use the best video card available? They aren't running the 64 bit version of windows so why didn't you mention that in your email?
I'm surprised people are now complaining about the lack of Microsoft selling upgrades... I've never heard that before. I thought they were so bad because they made you upgrade so often.

Doom III says your computer is obselete now. Is that good enough for you?
