The OS installation appears to be so bad it's actually an argument to stay with Windows. Remember, most consumers never consider to install another OS, they're used to buy new hardware to get a fresh operation system.
I have no idea why so many companies insist on running so heavily customized versions of Linux distros. Must be a marketing strategy of the company selling the modifications.
