Notes

We ran the usual tests, while keeping the hardware constant. These tests by no means summarize the performance of the OS; there are far too many features for which there are simply no tests by which to determine their efficiency or whether they work at all. This is just a snapshot of what the OS can do in comparison to the other Windows OSs.
