You're behind by a few months. When this test first came out (and it was NOT done by PC Magazine. It was done my mindcraft, an "independent" lab which has given flawed comparisons in the past as well), there was a large thread on how this comparison could have been messed up/altered to favor NT. If you search the mailing list archives, you could probably find the link to the step-by-step dissection of the flaws in the Mindcraft study.
