Ubuntu vs. Windows XP on my Thinkpad

  Although those are impressive numbers, the comparison does not really make much sense. XP is 9 years old. Ubuntu(10) a couple of weeks afaik. And for a real benchmark there should be information about what kind of initialization XP does (virus app, startup processes, ...).
