I didn't make the claim that Windows had better performance than Mandrake, I was responding to that claim. Actually, Windows 95 does perform quicker than Mandrake 9.0, but that's not a fair comparison (it also out performs Windows NT/2000/XP). A fair Windows vs Mandrake comparison would use Windows 2000 or XP and I don't believe either of those will out perform Mandrake on the same box.
As for Windows requiring more than a pentium class machine, Microsoft says the minimum hardware for XP is a pentium (or K6 and some others) running at 300mhz. Now, does anyone really expect to run XP on that platform? No but that fact that it can run on that platform means it can't be optimized for the later Intel and AMD chips.
Actually, I have XP running at home on a PII-333 My kids use it as their game machine.
But my oldest is only 7. Their demands are low. :)
