The Register: “Apple was victorious against Microsoft last week, after CNET ran a Windows XP versus Mac OS X death match, and eventually awarded Mac the trophy.

The punch-up was actually a dead heat but Apple won when the judges ruled its upgrade/licensing deal gave it the edge. However, Apple’s victory was shortlived, as a quick rethink saw the battle royal reduced to a draw – apparently the Mac OS X upgrade/licensing path is only better value than WinXP’s if you pirate the software.”
