AMD Cleaning Intel's Clocks 6728

It is always easy to say thing, it is far more problematic to prove them.

By what criteria? What study? Site? Supporting arguments?

I'll concede gaming, but I don't really care about gaming.

Again, this is stated without facts or supporting argument. When a Windows program can do this, I'll consider it worth testing:

int main() { pidt pid = fork();

if(!pid) return BackgroundProcess(); else return MonitorProcess(pid); }

As far as I know, "Windows" does not edit photos, there are applications which can be acquired which do edit photos, but that is a different story. Depending on your abilities, objective, and budget, Linux, Mac, or Windows all have applications which can suit 99.9% of the user's who would be inclined to edit photos. Personally, I'll give it to Linux over Mac and Windows for raw control over imaging a photo to the printer.

Yea right!! In your dreams. Again, applications perform these functions, not Linux or Windows, and the applications on Linux are far more flexable and efficient on Linux. I can choose which MP3 encoder I want, I can choose which CD database I use (many Windows applications can't). I have ripped all my CDs to MP3s through Linux, and never had a single problem.

Again, applications perform these functions, and while Windows may have an edge in this category, Linux is not unworkable.

Given any measure of "price vs performance" it is mathematically impossible for this statement to be true. Linux is free and Windows is not. That being said, ignoring price, Windows does has video performance superior to Linux, but this performance comes at the cost of stability.

Which, brings up a few very important metrics you don't mention:

Stability: Linux!! Security: Linux!!
