avaelliotsasser.com— Video of a Dell PC and Apple Powerbook booting OS X at the same time. Guess which one gets to the desktop first?

Here's a question. If you load a 98 bmw series with 500 pounds of walmart clerk fatass, and drag race against it with a nice 05 Ford Taurus with a spoiler a magnaflow. Socially, magnaflow doesn't belong on the taurus (as os x currently "shouldn't" be running on public pc's) (yes... i know nice and ford don't belong together, but for the sake of this example work with me...) The taurus is going to win.My mac doesn't sit in pure black as long as that one did, so there are serious disk permissions to fix or something~.But to agree with ezkiel, it is impressive to see this os x beta booting quickly on a dell. It's amazing to see ANYTHING boot fast on a dell. But I don't think that necessarily labels anyone clinically retarded. Insults over something as cliche as osx x86 has become is a waste of time.
The Video is Flawed, the Laptop we don't know what model it is and what speed and what RAM inside the laptop, they should of show us the specs of the laptop, they should of tested the intel version on a intel equivalent laptop, a laptop vs a Desktop there is no competition, if it were a Dual Desktop G5 up a against the Intel version with the same RAM and HDD speed then the speed would not be no different, the boot up process is also affected by how much s**t installed or services you got installed on your computer so this video comparison whilst it seems amazing, it means NOTHING at all, it's like comparing Apples with Bananas the video is flawed because the comparison systems are both flawed, a laptop HDD is slower than a desktop HDD, the laptop RAM could be less than the Intel's version and maybe the was some sort of foul play in terms showing the Mac Intel hackers out there that intel is faster, they could of faked the Mac startup sound on another system (hidden from camera) because we didn't see the laptop screen light up quickly at the beginning and they could of muted the shown laptop and actually started it up (secretly) after turning on the Dell PC, so DO NOT believe this video its giving a false impressions of the established PPC systems thats my 2 cents worth.
f**k you ezkiel, i didnt make any comments about you, i pointed out a simple obervation...you're just too f**king ignorant to continue the discussion becuase you probably own one of these outdated pieces of equipment (the mac). people need to stop personally attacking someone on a forum for what they say, and just continue the actual discussion on hand. grow up you gentlemen.

Hmmm, Let me think... an OS made for an Apple boots faster on an Apple than it does on a PC...?? Genius! What will they think of next? Duh
