This is only important if you still believe that Apple has to beat 
Microsoft to be successful; which, history shows, is crap.

To add to Flipper's point, I am only interested in benchmarks 
comparing Apples to Apples; the rest is just ego. My Ti500 performs 
very well and I would really be interested in how newer boxen relate 
to it. It would really be nice to see comparisons of new computers, 
with fresh OS installs, optimized drives. If these tests are done 
each time a new model is released THEN you have some valuable 
comparatives.

To test Photoshop across platforms is like putting a ford at Indy and 
a chevy at Kentucky speedway at different times of day, in different 
weather conditions, with drivers of different skill levels, driving 
each car a lap and calling it a comparative benchmark of performance. 
Marketing guys for the winning car would use the stats, but nobody 
else would.
