Well speed results should be a bit dubious, in theory there should be an extra pile of debugging code installed that will be removed to speed everything up before the final version is released. it all depends how much debugging is needed, and how much of the new version is just window dressing on Vista.

All I can say is that I never want to hear Microsofties bitching about OS X releases being "service packs that cost money" with this $200 piece of shit coming out.
