  Why is the article called "86 Mac Plus Vs. 07 AMD DualCore" when it's
comparing the System 6 OS with Windows Vista? It's continuously comparing
how much memory the OSes require, how much memory their applications
require, how much time it requires for the OS to boot, as well as how
much time it require for their applications.
  It's definitely comparing operating systems, not computers. Then why
is it named as a comparison between two computers?

  Want to compare something which regular people would be expected to
want to do with their computers? How about this:

  You own a cheap 5-megapixel digital camera with a 1GB memory card,
and you have taken a couple of dozens of full-resolution photos with it.
Because you are concerned with how the camera itself would compress the
photos as JPG, you have set up the camera to store then in TGA format
instead.
  Now you want to upload these images to the computer, make some adjustments
to them (such as gamma correction, cropping, etc) and save them in JPEG
format. After that you want to select the best ones and put them up in
your webpage. (Naturally you want to check with several browsers that the
webpage looks ok.)

  So, Windows Vista, in a dualcore AMD, vs. Mac Plus. Which one does this
faster?

  Oh, you can't? Oops!

  Even taking one single step from that process: Applying some gamma
correction to a 5-megapixel image. Even if the Mac Plus was able to do
that, which computer would do it faster?
