Could be true depending on the versions tested, which isn't clear from
the table. If they tested a year-old version of FF vs. a current version
of SM, there would be a large discrepancy. Unfortunately, the article
doesn't link to the original study.
The original article - see link below - appears to be written by an
anonymous writer for "Microsoft Subnet, An independent Microsoft
community" so naturally Windows is going to fare better. I think it is a
sham, at least the operating system portion of the article.

No, that's just another news article reporting on the original. But at
least this one does link to the original. Here's the original, which is
no more helpful:

One of the commenters makes a similar complaint about operating systems
-- "which Linux?" he asks.
I would ask which Linux kernel.
My openSUSE is 3.11.something-something-desktop, while this Kubuntu is
3.16.0-31-generic.
