I pretty much agree with everything my fellow countrymen said, except:
1 - windows bloat: who cares if microsoft keeps shipping old api's with windows (OLE comes to mind) , they're just dll's, they're only loaded when they're needed by some app. Same goes for linux libs.
2 - linux modularity: i think linux is modular enough, the problem is that they loose binary compatibility too frequently, unfortunately i think they do this on purpose and mostly for political reasons, but that is just my opinion, i can't really prove it.
I particularly agree with what he said about xfree.
