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.

Well i must have learned how to post comments from you.

Also as far as the others persons rant about how much easier it is to install programs on windows for "the average user", other then a browser and email client what other applications will the average user be installing that would make windows so much eaiser to install on???
I know for some more complex applications installing on windows was at one time MUCH easer to install then on linux largely because of depdnecy hell.
But linux installers are becoming so much easier to use these days that now the opposite is really becoming the case.
