Guys please....
Can we not get into a; "my OS is better than your OS" pissing contest.
Each has their uses, neither is absolutely better than the other.

Do you need to read or to write at 250 MB/s or more? Just get a couple of SSDs in raid 0. End of story.
Computation benchmarks? It's just a CPU bound issue, what could you expect? A 50% difference between Ubuntu and Windows? No way, it might end up to less then 5%... again, it doesn't make any real difference.
Benchmarks are meaningful to compare a new software version to make sure there are no regressions compared to the previous version, doing cross OS benchmarks to figure out who is peeing farthermost is pointless
I hope you didn't need Phoronix benchmarks to figure out that GPU drivers are more efficient under Windows 7
I would be interested in evaluating specific softwares on different platform to have a overall result of the application software + the operating system. Example: Photoshop on OS X and Windows 7. Not to determine if OS X is better than Windows 7, just to figure out if Photoshop runs better on one of the two OSs. Very likely it won't and it might be just about the same. And anyway, with different software you might get opposite results, just like different GPUs with different games or different resolutions/details levels.
At the end of the day I need to get the job done, not to go telling that my OS is 3% faster than the competition
So I welcome real user scenario benchmarks of real client software running on client OS... not fake test running server software on a client OS.

Originally posted by Enrox View PostI see your point: don't compare OSs using what people use in the real world... just compare meaningless things like Apache on Windows 7...
Do you get that there might be a reason why on the client Windows is over the 90% of the market share, OS X around the 5% and Linux about 1%?
Maybe... because real people do real things with theirs computer and they don't spend the day running benchmarks ... if a OS can't offer on the client what people need... maybe measuring performances of Apache on the client OS instead of using that time to improve the client overall appeal is a humongus waste of time

Originally posted by mart1n View PostI'd be interested in the performance comparison if on the Windows platform the mandatory protection has been installed (anti-virus, anti-malware). And the same tests after an installed platform has been used for 6 months. Windows is notorious for accumulating "crud" slowing down the system within a few months.
