Not to devaluate your tests -- please bear in mind that we offer more
features and are much more secure than XP. I am wondering what the
results would be if you kickstarted fedora just with icewm and firefox
and compared that one.
NB: I bet my XT with 640K RAM boots Minix faster than my workstation
would boot XP. It's all about features again.
