Windows 7 Faster Than Android?

I know it's a bit of a ridiculous statement, there are about a billion variables and at the end of the day, you still come down to comparing a sky scraper to a blue whale, but I had an impromptu experiment today which was pretty cool.

At the exact same moment, for whatever reason, both Windows and my new G1 phone alerted me that at a system level they had updates to install. Both required rebooting during installation. And I started both at the exact same time (and then got up to have a cup of coffee). I got back and watched the progress - and to my amazement, Windows was back up first.

I don't think this is a measure of anything in particular, except it does come as some surprise - I could have run this test in the past with a patch the size of a thimble on Windows against a slug in the hundred yard dash and Windows would still lose. Bravo guys!
