Actually it doesn't 'just work'. Neither does the linux desktop or the mac desktop. They all have certain shortcomings.
A few days ago I posted links to some of my screenshots showing that windows couldn't handle scaling properly with customized DPI settings, even for it's own built-in dialogues.
Gnome works fine with scaling. However Gnome has some other drawbacks. Nautilus for one - it's not exactly too stable.
Windows isn't as jerky in it's movement as Gnome is.
But both desktops fails in regard to drag'n'drop to printers. So does Mac OS X.
But they all have certain areas where they really rule.
Personally I like the speed of Windows 2003 Server (can't mention that one to often).
And I like the good drag'n'drop support in Gnome. And the swiftness of the menues. Much better than in Win2K3 Server.
It's going to be interesting what Vista can give, that I need.
