Interesting, lets take a look at this

Mac Pro
CPU 2.4-GHz Core 2 Duo T7700 processor
Ram 4 gigs
Video Card nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

PC World compared it to Gateway E-265M which PC World said the Mac beat by 1 point

Gateway E-265M
CPU 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (giving the mac a .2 ghz advantage)
Ram 2 gigs (giving the mac a 2 gig ram advantage)
Video Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD2300 (clear advantage to mac)

So, stating that Vista runs faster on a Mac is a half truth seeing how they did not run the test on equally equipped systems.
As I already stated in this thread, hardware is hardware is hardware, Intel, nVidea and Samsung do not make special CPU's, Vid Crads and Ram for apple/microsoft
