Misinterpreted. I think that is about the best word around to describe the reactions to my previous article. Whether it has been misinterpreted due to people only reading what they want to read, due to an unclear choice of words on my behalf, or other factors, I am going to try it again. I will try to explain my position, again. Now, more stable, the code has been rewritten from scratch!

What makes a Windows file system clearer than Linux's? Habit or better design? Perhaps you should ask yourself that.
And as for the installation, apart from the partition bit - and most (I haven't tried all distros so I won't say all) distros have an automatic partition utility - I don't see any stumbling blocks with Linux installations. Besides, it is an oft repeated fact but important nevertheless, a typical Linux distro consists of far more software - from Office suites to advanced networking tools - than a Windows installation; how many reboots does Windows take before the same or similar amount of programmes are installed? Unless one's happy working with Word/Notepad I don't see a typical home Windows installation being functional without additional software being added.
