So benching with Linux is all fine and good, but will that matter to most end users who are trying to decide between the two?

Well, if you're going to measure performance that way, then the thousands of dollars worth of Windows software that I've accumulated over the years and regularly use runs just as well with the G5 machine running at Zero Hertz and with no memory installed as it does configured any other way.

So much for 'real world' benchmarks, I guess.
