  • This video just show that the driver and flash plugins is more optimized for Windows.

    You do not compore the OS performance but just the driver performance. It is not a good thing.

  • @gigi20678 Yup, to those who wish to have superior flash 10/HD video/drivers/gaming/productiv­ity/and user friendly systems: use Windows.

    LiEnucks? WTF is that?

  • @gigi20678 Dude, there is no flash on this... this is a HTML5 test.. And, if you're familiar with tweaking FF via about:config you'll soon find out it lacks on Linux some of the hardware acceleration features that are exclusive to Windows 7, yes I mean SEVEN ONLY, no XP. By that I mean Direct2D! Linux actually lacks a bunch of great technologies that MS has managed to build into Windows as it matured.

  • @FriezaReturns00001 Lienucks is garbage. LOL.

  • Windows can handle more FPS then LieNUCKs!

  • You can't just compare those operating systems... they come from complete different worlds each with its on purpose. Also, windows makes a shit load of money compared to linux. Give those money to improve linux and we would have a operating system that is unimaginable, fantastic and not to mention compatible with all sorts of sofware and games :-)

  • @gigi20678 Derp. Retard. That is HTML5. WTF does it have to do with hardware drivers and Flash?

  • @LiEnucksFAILS dude that was my bro, he for some reason likes that shit, i for one think it sux ass and is actually slower than xp on my computer

  • @mrbest20 Oh, do you have the link? :)

  • @Lienucksfails8 theres another guy that tested different kinds of bench on both linux and windows and windows 7 won all the time

  • @Lienucksfails8 it dont matter firefox for example is not microsoft u fucking idiot

    wheres ur knowledge?

    and no i dont only care about games

    if you open a huge flash page it needs to be quick and linux isnt in this case u fucking idiot.

  • @b00rk what does that have to do with anything

    firefox isnt owned by microsoft
