Before this starts another spate of "X runs programs faster than Y", I'll add that the above report was *very* preliminary, and second hand information to boot. For instance, we have no way of knowing if that user had been running Windows in 640x480x256, then was wowed by the speed when he ran Winos2 in 640x480x16. Let's put off any speed arguments until both products get into the hands of enough people so we can do some real benchmarks. -- John H.
