The KDE experiment is just a plain BS, you show people how much you copied Windows look, and you tell them it is Windows, Yeah great, let's do a real experiment and let them USE the machine, they will throw it in your face after 2 minutes, because they can't run Microsoft Office

Windows XP has been in the market for almost 10 years, while Windows 7 has been in the Market for less than a year, and as far as the numbers go in one year Windows 7 already surpassed what Windows Vista did in 4 years or so.

Actually IE used to run on Mac OSX as part of a deal between Apple & Microsoft back in 1997, and it was releasing for a while till apple choose to not renew the deal with MS and to start its own Browser.

So you want to compare a native application with a virtualized application on terms of Performance, NICE

There is no comparison, you can't compare IE & FF on Mac OS period

Nope.

These are simple facts of programming, if you don't understand them too bad for you.

IE8 doesn't run on Mac.

sorry a typo I meant "Mac"

Chrome is native on all platforms, why do you think it took it years to finally release on Linux & Max while it was already released 5 versions on Windows

Who cares about Linux, we're talking about Windows, when the 93% of the world talks, the other 1% should shut the fuck up.

Since both are very early previews, IE9 didn't even reach the beta stage, we will all wait and see, however I really don't think FireFox will ever be faster in this area exactly because of the overhead of its cross platform nature, IE on the other hand, can utilize DirectX & Windows API better than any other browser and without having any abstraction layers in between the application and the those API's
