I am a network engineer by trade and I have been using Windows PC's my entire life. I bought my first Mac one year ago and I am also very experienced in Linux. I understand the challenges with HDTV playback on a computer, especially H.264.
That being said, this was not a comparison, it was a review of HD playback on a MacBook pro. Ok maybe "Ultimate" wasn't a good choice for words since it implies a comparison, but I see nothing wrong with explaining how well the MacBook pro decodes HDTV video. If I had another Core Dou laptop I would compare them.
I do see your point and I will try to refrain from using words like "ultimate" or "perfect" in my future Mac related titles.
