windows xp was released very long ago, snow leopard is much more recent.
I guess you would compare OSX version with service packs though, but I don't think that's fair.
Honestly Apple is playing the obsolescence card much more aggressively than microsoft, because they can. I installed Mavericks on my 2GB RAM macbook pro, and my laptop is already obsolete, it's very sluggish. I would GLADLY trade mavericks for windows XP. And I'm sure Windows 7 runs very well with that amount of ram.
