Now if it was only a matter of what operating system without tuning works best on this one machine without tuning, then this might just legitimate.

The only experiment using Windows NT vs NetBSD that I'm aware of is this: "The Measured Performance of Personal Computer Operating Systems" (http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~margo/papers/sosp95/). On the same hardware, for cross-platform tasks, NetBSD outperformed Windows NT. This was in 1995, so it was probably Windows NT 3.51 and NetBSD 1.0 or 1.1
