We saved a lot of money by renegotiating bandwidth contracts with our ISPs. Moving file servers to Linux and getting rid of the "MS Tax" was also a plus...
I do believe Apple used Windows XP for the tests between the G5 and the Dell PC. They would have to disable hyperthreading because Windows XP only supports up to 2 Processors and Microsoft does count each processor w/hyperthreading as being two processors (dual Xeons would count as 4 processors). If they wanted hyperthreading enabled on both processors they would have used Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2000 Server.
I don't believe this works: 1.) Batman runs Mac OS X. 2.) Batman doesn't work for anyone 3.) Everyone knows the Joker runs Windows ME.

Just my two cents
