I read a lot of reviews comparing GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows, and inevitably the topic of installing software comes up. Most reviews indicate that installing software in Windows is much easier than that of the desktop GNU/Linux world. I decided to do my own comparison based on my desktop usage to see the difference. The following are my results. Those of you that come from the Windows world may be a tad bit surprised at the ease in which software can be installed.

Until Linux gets this right there is no way the AVERAGE COMPUTER USER [NOT AVERAGE (*cough* novice) LINUX user] will get the process of installing programs down.
Apt-Get....NO WAIT
RPM's...NO WAIT
tar balls...NO WAIT
Click N' Run....NO WAIT
