Ok, so it gets the job done, but it doesn't use up system resources on eye candy. And that warrants it being compared to a Visual Basic "My First App" program?

Most Linux distributions including Ubuntu have much better installers than every single version of Windows that has ever existed. When Windows can do a clean installation without fscking up on hard drive detetion or layout, requiring steps where you have to press keys like F1, F3, F5 and F8 with constantly changing associated actions, being half text based and half graphical, and needing several reboots then you can complain about Linux installers.
