Improve Windows Vista Performance… Get A Mac

I just love stuff like this. PC World tested Windows Vista on a bunch of different laptops, including Dell, Alienware and Toshiba to benchmark their performance. In the end, one laptop emerged a clear winner. By a single point the Macbook Pro outperformed the Gateway E-265M. I’m not sure which is the bigger surprise, the fact the margin was only one point or the next best thing is a Gateway. Um yeah…
The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year–or for that matter, ever–is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro’s PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway’s E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook’s score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn’t care less whether you run Windows.

I think this may be only true for laptops not for desktops.
