It all boils down to this, from a users (i.e. my) perspective: Windows XP, given 1GB RAM, can do what OS X cannot with 3GB.
Also, FWIW, I didn't mean to whine, but *ask*, in part because I find stuff like this interesting. 

What is your definition of "cannot"?!?!

XP slows down all the time for no obvious reason, and because they don't HAVE a spinny cursor you either don't notice or don't know why, you just notice the cursor isn't moving smoothly or it missed a mouse click or that it's taking an AWFUL long time to check your mailbox.
