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.

1. It is no easier or harder to install software on Linux than on Windows. The determinate factor is, and always has been, how familiar the user is with how the operating system works. It has not a lot to do with the operating system itself. This argument was beaten into the ground well over two years ago. Enough already.
2. Kevin Russo, you very much need to take both spelling and grammar classes. Your writing is, to be blunt, awful.
See you all in another year. I just like to poke my head in here every now and then and see if anything has changed.
