Why are we even discussing this anymore?
He wasn't calling for a comparison. His remark was "I'm sure Disk
Utility is great, but on Windows, one never needs to repair drive
permissions, so that's not exactly a feature that would be a relevant
point of comparison."
Comparison to MagicISO, http://www.magiciso.com/, is a lot like Disk
Utility. Allen Fisher did make a good comparison.
And then I made a factual statement, "But on a Mac you never need to run
a virus protection program, or anti-spyware program. So, I guess it
evens out........ " in response to his "windows one never needs to
repair drive permissions"
And thus the can of worms was opened. I sure he could have just left out
the "repair drive permissions" thing, and I would have left it alone.
But, looking at it again, the original comparison made by Allen was apt.
As for the repair permissions feature...perhaps if they had a scan for
viruses or chkdsk function in MagicISO that would work?
So, in all, it was a fair comparison, MagicISO and DiskUtility.

comparison are doing the very thing they're telling him he shouldn't
have done.
What's up with that? Is this pig-pile on Fenton day or something?
