I ALSO think that those benchmarks, regardless of how skewed they are, are pretty close to useless. The real test is "how fast can you perform the necessary tasks to get your work done".

Wait for some 3rd party benchmarks on specific applications or... just go with what you know. :x

I, for one, think it's funny that anybody would care about the difference, like they were going to switch platforms to get their work done. Heh. If you're experienced with OS9/X or Windows, what are the chances you're gonna switch platforms for a little more speed? Your job will inevitably take longer til you become as comfortable with the new platform as you were with the old.

The only way that's gonna happen is with a personal preference change really. Where you just give up one OS for the other.
