From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Totally agree, it's two different tests and use cases. Most people will run it how it comes out of the box and that's probably more representative of the real world.
I just think it's not entirely fair to say "windows is 20% slower" when we have no idea which trash HP loaded it up with. If I managed an IT Dept and learned my $$$$ hardware lost 1/5 of it's performance I'd certainly be pushing HP for solutions. Or maybe they'd prefer to take 20% off the price?
