Macs Trounce PCs in Popular Mechanics “Ultimate Lab Test”: "In what columnist Glenn Derene (popularmechanics.com) billed as the ‘Ultimate Lab Test for New Desktops & Laptops,’ both the iMac and MacBook soundly outperformed Vista-running PCs. ‘In our speed trials,’ reports Derene, ‘Leopard OS trounced Vista in all-important tasks such as boot-up, shutdown and program-launch times. We even tested Vista on the Macs using Apple’s platform-switching Boot Camp software—and found that both Apple computers ran Vista faster than our PCs did."
