  I have heard the claim that Windows is the only operating system where each
new version has been slower than the previous version (iow. other OS'es, both
free and commercial, try to always be faster or at the very least equally
fast than the previous version).

  And that wasn't like with all bells and whistles enabled by default, but
rather with everything that might be a resource hog turned off which could
be turned off, and benchmarking the system in such a bare-bones situation as
possible.

  (I suppose the claim is verifiably false at least in the case of the jump
from MacOS 9 to MacOS X, although one could argue they aren't actually the
same OS (different kernel and all), only that the latter had emulation
support for the former...)
