Macbidouille points out that Apple will expose itself to direct comparisons between Windows XP and Mac OS X, now that their hardware works with both. A few benchmarks popped and the results are not very favorable to Mac OS: OpenGL is said to be 40% faster on Windows. Another test with Cinebench also revealed that Windows is faster. Of course, the OpenGL test has more to do with the driver (Apple writes it, I think) than the Mac OS, however, users won't care where it's coming from... Expect to more comparisions in the near future.
