Did 3.7 beta 32 benchmark in Vista and Windows 7, too. Only a few seconds 
difference, W7 bettering Vista again.
I guess with this benchmark using 2 threads and being almost 5X faster than 
the 3.6 benchmark you could say it was essentially a a quarter minute 
speed-up in W7.

Well, okay, probably not great if it means anything at all. POV-Ray 3.6.2 
users would have the best render time change from the current 3.6... 
regardless of Vista or Windows 7.

On the subject of CPU's, I think my next computer will be Intel with Windows 
7. I might be slower right now with my AMD notebook than comparable Intel's, 
I'm just not sure of that.
