until you try 3d rendering.... dumbass

90% of the speed from software is determined by the software, rest is hardware based. A crappy coded piece of software will run sluggish regardless of RAM, CPU or graphic card. If you don't believe that Linux is better performance-wise, why is it possible to run it on a computer with 16M RAM? And the 3d effects doesn't take much power. I can run it on my laptop, it has a graphic card with 16M of shared RAM, best part is; it doesn't affect performance noticably either.

Yupp :) A 700M Linux distro contains as much, if not more, out of the box than Vista Ultimate.

Wrong on all counts. You'll find memory management in windows to hit the crapper when you load up zillions of apps. Also, the 3D cube stuff is done with hardware-accelerated graphics. It SPEEDS THE INTERFACE UP ON MODERN COMPUTERS. And lastly linux totally rapes the other two for performance largely because you can optimize it for your hardware.

Google from what I've heard runs their own version of Linux. With as many projects as they have and with Microsoft being their competitor, I can only assume they are probably working on it. Which I do hope very much.

Well you can start all those programs on windows and everything else... it's just about the ram you have and what cind of processor you have. To run all those programs cant be be too hard, + you do not say how mush all those programs take... you can start paint 400 times on just 4gig ram. So you cannot say that linux takes more programs than everything else, It's mostly the hardware it depends on. I not Believe that linux is beter for beter perfomence, the desk 3d takes TO much power. // Alex

windows is a "user freindly" os but linux doesnt get in the way of you and teh computeh!

170 if you included the background enviroment apps like compiz

for all the people who like windows xp and don't like Linux, remember that we don't like xp and we like Linux. if u are using windows u have to listen to ur PC what it wants to do, but when we use Linux the PC listen to us and it works according to us how ever we want we can customize Linux in any way
