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.

So what about this scenario. dialup.. yes some... lots of people still have dialup. try ap-getting openoffice and waiting 4 days for the download to complete. or the other scenario... cover cds on magazines, or cds your friends give you. where is apt-get emerge or portage then?
At least Windows, and Mac make it easy to install and uninstall software when the fast, unlimited broadband connection isn't certain!
