Windows Last week we talked about what Linux (well, okay, X) could learn from Windows Vista and Windows 7, focusing on the graphics stack. A short article over at TechWorld lists seven things Windows 7 should learn from the Linux world. Some of them are spot-on, a few are nonsensical, and of course, and I'm sure you have a few to add too.

1) How to make a drop dead easy installer. From the first second linux is significantly easier than windows

2) Configurable 3d effects. Aero has a nice look to it (I actually do really like the frosted glass bit), but without any way to tweak it beyond basic colors, it's kind of lame.

3) Unified application update system. Probably the single best feature of linux today.
