Found this while surfing and couldn’t resist posting the link. This guy did a massive array of tests on pretty much all versions of Windows that matter at the moment. The short version? If it’s performance you’re after, there’s no clear winner, since they all have their strengths. Overall, of the currently-supported OSes 2008 server seems to have the edge, as indicated by my own experiences. Attaching the results below, but here’s a link, too.

Any chance you would update your results for Windows 7 Beta 1 and/or Windows 2008 Server R2?

Hmm…
Were the benchmarks run without the overhead of anti-virus and other such processes?
To put things in perspective, could you please run the tests on Fedora 11 Linux (with cpuspeed throttling switched off)?
We all know Linux is faster, but by how much is the question - if Linux is slower, then it would be interesting to find out where.

So Vista is best for 2D and 3D?

Thx for the results. Before this test I almost decided to switch to Win 2008 from XP.
Would be nice to test Win7
