Have you ever wondered on what operating system Java works the best? While by no means is it a conclusive multi-platform comparison, for this article we ran a number of Java benchmarks on both Windows Vista Premium and Ubuntu Linux to see how the Java Virtual Machine performance differs. In addition, when running Ubuntu we had tested Sun's official Java package as well as the OpenJDK alternative.

I voted down and would like to explain why: Comparing JDK 1.6.07 (used in the test on Win) to 1.6.10+ (used on Ubuntu) is apples and oranges. Everyone (?) knows how many performance improvements and optimizations found way to 1.6.10
Note that this is nothing against Ubuntu as that is my preferred platform (actually it is Kubuntu to be exact) - just the test should be fair.

why don't you repeat your tests on windows running sun java 1.6 update 10 or 11? that would be fair..
