Ok the guys from NBR have done a review with the Wind in XP here , and one in Vista here.
Surprisingly the Wind in Vista scores better in every benchmark and batterylife than in XP. According to Kevin who did the review it also feels faster.
I was wondering, is this really true or is there something else going on? Maybe something with drivers i thought. Is anyone able to run these benchmarks and double check? Maybe run some other benchmarks like PCMark05 (free).
Edit: The reason for the lower performance may be here:
"the Wind's CPU is constantly toggling between 800MHz and 1.6GHz. While that may help battery life, it did not help the Wind when multitasking. "

RM Clock could solve this.

The thing is though, whenever there was a hint of load it would lock at 1600. So during any benchmark it would never bounce back and forth.
Any Wind owners able to run benchmarks?
