Although eEyes' reports look a bit confusing (look at the "Vulerability is over" image at the bottom), I think according to this page http://www.eeye.com/html/research/upcoming/index.h tml there are 3 security vulnerabilities affecting IE and Outlook that allow remote code execution.
The oldest one is 60 days old now and still not fixed.
At "SPEC", you can easily find the performance of a Power4 @ 1.45 GHz. Its SPEC2000 rating for floating point is 1097. When you scale that to the 2.0 GHz processor in the G5, you conclude that it has a SPEC score of about 1500.

Wrong Conclusion!
According to this pdf (page 13) G5 @ 1.8GHz has 1051 SpecFP.
At the same time Power4 @ 1.7GHz has 1598 SpecFP !!!
It is very clear that Power 970 (G5) is much-much slower in floating point than it's Power4.
Since when three pages are enough for enterprise os comparison?
Nope
