"The ITC looked into Apple's claims following these complaints. It found they were not supported by independent reviews and 'at best the G5 was generally as fast as the best Intel-based workstations currently available'."

i am gonna complain to all those coffee shops in NYC saying they got the "world's best coffee"!
bastards!
how cars what a commercial says or doesnt say, people really take it that serious? I am sure the complaints came from pc owners.

*who cares... damn my spelling, blaming it on the coffee

Because car companies say they have "one" of the fastest cars, or use opinionated words like "best" or "affordable". If a car company said it has THE fastest car in the WORLD, they would be called on their claim and asked to show proof. That's not an opinion-based comment. When a coffee company says it has the "best" coffee, that's based on opinion. Apple was stating a fact, and when asked to show proof they couldn't justify their claim. It's not about PC vs. Mac, it's about false advertising.

Ya know... if I was posting an article saying how Dell or Gateway lied about the speed of their computers compared to an Apple, I wouldn't be called a troll...

I recently did retouching on a photo that is 18x24". When scanned, it was about 400 megs. The Photoshop file with layers was 900 megs. I have a 933mhz PC with 512mb of RAM. It went a bit slow on blurs and other filters, but general editing was as smooth as anything else. Now, multiple those specs by 3 (which is still slower than your G5) and I could've worked on the 900mb PSD very smoothly with any filter or image operation.
And I'm not telling you it's not the fastest computer, MacWorld is.
