I really agree on turning it into a feature list. For a _comparison_, I think it's up to somewhere else: To really compare, it's mandatory to really now the multiple compared items. Who cares about the latest MS Windows internals (deep networking capability, filesystem tricks, kernel scheduler specs,...) in here? I migh be wrong, but IMHO "core devs" and "power users" wont spend time to deeply investigate on the other systems. Again, just an opinion. -- RMA.
