Just about all of the results are only fractions of a second different for
the various browsers. What's to choose really?

My computer is quite fast and the latency of the web-site and my internet
service provider has more of an impact on loading web pages than some
miniscule difference in rendering engines.

Well they would, wouldn't they?

Cool. Now Windows users can get pwned even faster!
What makes this report extremely dubious is the chart that is buried at
the bottom. It shows IE8 outperforming Firefox 3.05 and Chrome 1.0,
something that no other test on the Internet has ever shown before.
LOL. Marketers.

Pure BS, I tried this yesterday, and this is pure BS... I used a variety
of browsers going from FF 3.0 and 3.5, Chrome, Opera 10 (? not sure)
Safari 4 and IE 8, and IE 8 is still the slowest of the bunch running
the Sunspider JavaScript benchmark.
And why are they comparing a Beta software (IE8) with final software (FF
and Chrome)?
Another interesting fact that I encountered when doing these tests was,
while IE 8 was loading some page (don't remember which one) I actually
had time to copy the link, fire up Shiretoko, choose my profile, paste
the link IE 8 was trying to load into the free browser and guess what?
Shiretoko opened the full page before IE did... << And no I'm not lying,
and I also mean fully loading a page (Status bar *Done*).
IE 8 passed the Acid 2 test, but fails miserably on the Acid 3 test,
worse than IE 7.

Your fake LOLs are sickening.

I wouldn't believe a word anyone who hangs out on Roy Schestowitz's Loony
Toons ICQ channel 18 hours a day says.
And neither will anyone else who reads the crap you paranoid idiots conjure
up.
That's a not so subtle hint Tony Manco.

Because their betas always run better than their releases. Just compare
Vista, the beta, with Vista, the release. The same will happen with
Vista 7 ME III beta vs. the release. But the advance friendly comments
help them sell a few copies before people get their hands on the
product and find it's both a stinker & a sinker.

Sounds like the bullshit hype that proceeded Visduh and DX10, which
was supposed to be so amazingly faster than DX9, that all the gamers
would be compelled to upgrade. Laff.

I'm sure you can show us some of this 'bullshit hype'.

Sounds like that old MIG story.
A Russian MIG flew so high and fast over Israel, nothing could touch it, the
Yanks spewed, this plane was obviously years ahead of anything they had.
It was just so FAST!
When a defector landed one in Japan, they stripped and analysed it. They
found a interesting fact, namely the Israel incident MIG had been stripped
of every non essential part.
No weapons, no armour, not even a radio, just a hollow shell designed to go
very FAST, but useless for anything else.
And Vistabeta7 is just so *fast* !!!

Compared to the last mess I bet it is. But compared to anything else
(OS X, linux, BSD, Win3.11, or even loading a huge file 14 files from
the beginning of a tape on a C-64) I'd bet it's nothing to brag about.
And it's still probably not hollow enough: DRM, UAC, spyware, 14G of
libraries and drivers that aren't even used by the average person, etc.
