I agree that LINUX installation really needs to be improved. Though I 
don't like Windows very much, at least most programs (except some GPL 
ones like OpenOffice and GIMP) are much easier to install and update on 
Windows, LINUX can be a big pain.  Even Office and GIMP are easier to 
install and update on Windows than in LINUX. 

On the plus side, at least programs are a lot easier to remove in LINUX 
-- the Registry in Windows is probably the WORST part of the OS!
