That’s right folks, according to a small study conducted by Popular Mechanics magazine, Windows Vista runs better on Macs than PC’s.
/me listens to Alanis Morisette – Ironic

According to InformationWeek, Popular Mechanics “tested two all-in-one desktops and notebooks, one Mac and one PC in each category, using a panel of testers ranging from experts to the I-just-want-it-to-work type of consumer”.
The results were published in in Popular Mechanics‘s May issue.

There is a logic to it:
Apple’s hardware is carefully built to be the most stable and compatible as possible, and the driver’s provided by OS X’s boot camp are perfectly designed for Vista to work perfectly with all the hardware in a Mac.
Apple tries to give such a perfect environment to it’s OS X that Windows Vista becomes actually much better on a Mac than most PC’s.

They also proved false the “a Mac’s way more expensive” PC lovers line. Apparently the only PC’s closely matched to their Mac’s counterparts – Gateway desktop and Asus notebook, priced the same or even higher than the Mac’s.

When they tested OS X Leopard vs Vista the results were more or less expected, Leopard won all the trials, and most of them such as performance, application launch times, features, etc. by a long way.
On the downside they found that most users only love OS X Leopard’s look and feel a little bit more than Vista’s.

Apple won both in laptops and desktops categories – Now there’s no excuse not to buy a mac.
