Soon: Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 vs. Mac OS X 10.6, Oh My!

How do benchmark the slow window management, slow application startup and shitty multitasking? Please include some tests, that are not pure hardware/driver related

+1, for exemple you can track application start up of Qt/KDE application with as special soft, open and close lot of windows for track windows manager performance.

I have particular query for this test:
Read/write raw hdd
I/O over file system
AND the more important for me:
Copy of 10x1G file on the same hdd and same partition. (no on ssd for keep be in common hardware)
I thinks you will see great difference between all the Os.

yay \m/

Having windows as a benchmark option would be great because windows proprietary drivers receive the most attention from vendors.

Can't wait for the Windows vs Linux tests

PTS coming to Windows.

When will companies learn? If you ignore Linux, it will leave a huge niche open to direct competition which will then come around and bite you in the butt. Happened with GIMP, happened with Inkscape, and now it's happening with Phoronix Test Suite.

Blow us off at your peril.

Can't wait for the results! If Windows wins I'l be greatly puzzled.

Last time I looked at some Ubuntu version and it seems such options were enabled:

Ubuntu doesn't really have debugging code enabled even in the development process AFAIK

Ubuntu 10.04 won't be released very soon. so we'll see Alpha/beta version with debugging enabled?
