"That means for the price of the Gateway you could buy an iMac, boost its hard drive to match the Gateway’s, purchase a copy of Vista, and still save $100."
Let's not forget that Popular Mechanics also reckons its readers like to build particle accelerators and spaceships in their garages. µ

There you go jtr, for that M$ Train sim- Vista only, you should get a Mac (well not really, PC's are easier to upgrade)

Let the dismissive flamin begin

There are two main methods to performance comparisons:
1. Like-for-like hardware as close as you can get.
2. Pick a price point and see what you can get a.k.a. bang for buck.
They did neither, apparently just choosing whatever caught their eye. Popular Mechanics does themselves no favors publishing this rubbish.

Computers have never been Popular Mechanics strong suit.
