Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y "So, which really is better for the desktop: Vista or Linux? I've been working with Vista since its beta days, and I started using Linux in the mid-90s. There may be other people who have worked with both more than I have, but there can't be many of them. Along the way, I've formed a strong opinion: Linux is the better of the two. But, now that Vista is on the brink of becoming widely available, I thought it was time to take a comprehensive look at how the two really compare. To do this, I decided to take one machine, install both of them on it, and then see what life was like with both operating systems on a completely even playing field."

seems very weird, how would that bootloader he recommends be any better than grub, just in case one wishes to boot more than two different OS's? grub does support more than linux/winblows.

It would be easier for the average user to figure out, as the whole thing is GUI-based.

gui doesent make things easier automatically.

its not like gui is simply easier, a configuration file can be just as easy, which grubs are.
