I'm quite sure it's because the author of the test is a cheap-ass Linux user
who wouldn't spring for the official release of Vista. He had a free Vista
release candidate, and that crappy AMD Sempron system (which he purposely
didn't quote the full specs).

Exactly. And notice Roy "The Liar" Schestowitz didn't quote the benchmarks
that stated it was Vista beta, even though the dishonest wack read the
