Greg Joswiak, VP of Hardware at Apple seemingly clears up some misconception about Apple/Veritest's benchmarks. It seems they chose Linux because it renders faster than Windows. and...

This is interesting too:

"Joswiak added that in the Intel modifications for the tests, they chose the option that provided higher scores for the Intel machine, not lower. The scores were higher under Linux than under Windows, and in the rate test, the scores were higher with hyperthreading disabled than enabled. He also said they would be happy to do the tests on Windows and with hyperthreading enabled, if people wanted it, as it would only make the G5 look better. "

Is this true? I've not looked at too many Spec sheets to know about hyperthreading, but I'd be interested to know what's up with that statement.
