Try to test CPU usage for HD video
Michael, apparently Snow Leopard includes some hardware acceleration for H264 videos, so if you could get some graphs showing processor usage between 10.5 and 10.6 that would be great.

Any modern Linux or Windows should run fine on them.

Very interested in this benchmark as I am upgrading my Mac to Snow Leopard this weekend.

if different linux distributions will be tested, it would be interesting to test something else than the major ones, like Arch Linux, for example.

Ubuntu's official position is to discourage people from buying Macs because of the nightmare it is to support them.
I would really like to see this "Ubunutu official position" as it seems if that is what you are basing your idea's on it's either extremely outdated or fabricated bullshit.
Lets not forget until relatively recently you had to drop to a much older OS to update a bloody BIOS in a PC. DOS.
