| Windows 7 vs. XP64: Better in the short run? The long run? |

I'm not interested in being tethered to MS. If a version comes out that eliminates the ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- authenticity checks and doesn't constantly ping Redmond, I may take a gander. Until then, I will stick with my XP Professional... I still use OS9 for work... so I'd have no problem sticking with XP for another 10 years.... |

Wow! Another reason I love this forum -- I love seeing others like me not "politically" tied to a particular OS or company (or in Silas' case, all of the above). Yeah, I'm a Mac, except when it comes to emulation. This whole cabinet-with-a-PC-brain thing started after realizing that X-Arcade + Mac is not a well-supported way to run MAME. |

I saw that the Ubuntu machine booted 20 seconds faster, and that Firefox launched much faster on the Ubuntu machine than IE did on the Windows machine. Launch times are barely an indicator of overall performance. Once your app is running, do they run the same speed? IE is a dog, and Firefox isn't. I wonder if we looked at a comparison of Firefox on both machines what it would look like? Also, comparing different browsers is a bit like comparing two different cars with different engines rather than an comparison of one OS to another. In the end if the only difference is launch times, I surely don't mind taking an extra swig or two of my beverage while the machine takes an extra 20 seconds to boot up. Let's see the comparison of frame-rate to frame-rate in MAME to see if it makes a difference? |
