It's all about perception. PC users see it as an attempted deception. It
would have been wiser on Apple's part to find a bunch of benchmarks in which
the G5 clearly excels (hopefully benchmarks unlike SPEC where one can go
find much better scores than Apple's for P4 on the official SPEC site... and
no scores for G5)... and avoid other benchmarks. That's typically what the
"PC Folks" are up to when trying to make their stuff look good.

And PC users don't see it as an attempted deception when PC manufacturer
A shows numbers twice as good as manufacturer B, and they buy the machine
from manufacturer A and runs their applications more slowly?

I think you are unfairly blaming Apple for something common to the whole
industry.
