I have experienced the exact opposite of what this person experienced.

I use both Windows and OS X all through the day and while the response on both is adequate, the Core 2 Quad Windows 7 box is much more responsive than my MBP with the high end 15" i7. They both have 8GB RAM -- but then again, my Core 2 Duo Thinkpad X200 feels more responsive, and requires fewer resources.

I've never experienced or heard of the "infamous" cloned dialogs bug on Windows 7, but oddly, I have experienced it on OS X. Conversely, I've never experienced the reported cursor lag on OS X.

Like I said, I find both OSes perfectly good, but the post just seems suspect to me.

Now, if only Microsoft would integrate a well-supported, well-integrated, native bash/zsh. I can't bring myself to like Powershell.
