Not trying to be cynical, only realistic. You can't claim victory with one benchmark, especially in light of two benchmarks -- showing different results (and different victors).
This is merely sensationalism. The article is interesting enough, but the Digg title and description is both misleading and inaccurate to the whole picture. Can we stop with the fanboy-ism and utterly ridiculous presentation of the facts? - bruenig, on 04/27/2008, -1/+7Ha, you don't understand how digg works. That's funny.
- estvir, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5And he expected something not biased and full of lies from schestowitz. How cute.
- weizbox, on 04/27/2008, -0/+4winning one and losing another != a win... and that's why you can't say 'Linux Wins' (nice article title manipulation schestowitz).
I would agree that the power usage on the notebook would be more important, clearly... but that doesn't mean you can ignore the AMD Octal Core Server results.
Ubuntu wins on this notebook, but not on the server... simple as that. - thtroyer, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2Nope. Been here over a year and a half.
- shrewduser, on 04/27/2008, -1/+3actually the title's not that inaccurate, if you take the percentages of the two tests ubuntu is on top overall as well, not only that but the second test was on an octal core server where power isn't an issue (especially a couple of watts out of ~170) linux is the clear winner from this data you couldn't read it any other way.
- weizbox, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2/sigh... what gets me is why farkis has a seemingly split personality, or just very confused....
He diggs articles like: 'Hardy Heron Makes Linux Worth Another Look ', 'Massive Desktop Linux deployment (52 MILLION new users!)' and 'Five Reasons Ubuntu Server Revolution Begins Today'
And yet the comments in some of these articles are: '...switched back to the mac because Linux has too many viruses.', 'WTF with Ubuntu, can't even run Word and Excel on it, and now you can't even view the Internet?' and 'Ubuntu sucks rocks.'
He also seems to comment, then digg... making me believe that he just diggs the articles in order for people to see his comments.. since he clearly doesn't support the article itself.
It's cute.. I think he just wants some attention. In any case, I hope this helps him out ;)
(still digging him down... even if it seems he likes it) - Ducttape38, on 04/27/2008, -1/+2"Both operating systems were left in their absolute stock configuration with installing no third-party drivers or other software."
Does that include updates to? I know Vista SP1 greatly helped power consumption in laptops. - Koush, on 04/27/2008, -2/+2And?
- shrewduser, on 04/27/2008, -1/+1lol i really hope this was sarcasm/joke... because if not humanity would have sunk to a new low on the ignorance charts with a single comment...
- inactive, on 04/27/2008, -2/+2You must be new here..
- LANjackal, on 04/27/2008, -1/+1Linux in general has always needed less resources than Windows, duh. This article is a statement of the obvious.
