The MacBookPro is faster under Windows

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.
