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.

Ok, this is dumb. Next time you compare, use two applications bundled with each OS. Windows : Add/Remove, Components, Check the component and click OK. Otherwise choose an application like oracle and install it on both OSes ... it will take much more time on linux considering you have to configure some parts of it yourself. I am a Linux user and I love it but I think this article was very unfair and pointless.
