I've never seen why Windows is easier. I've never had to manually install graphics, NIC, and sound devices in Ubuntu, the KDE and GNOME layouts are much cleaner and better organized (perhaps software category really *is* more useful than developer name), and the errors can all be Googled for a quick fix. If my technophobic family can figure it out (and, get this, find it easier) it's not hard. I recommend it because it's more open and accessible, doesn't require bullshit like the "geek squad" or fancy-pants corporate IT wankers to fix, and supports more hardware with all of the functionality most users need.

When I was doing my courses for my MCSE, there was this one guy that would just fucking go off in the middle of class about Linux and how it could do whatever so much better. That's all fine and dandy, but at the time it was an MS course and I wanted to get my certs and this guy was eating up class time which equals big money. Hell, I think my instructor almost punched this guy
On the desktop, Windows can do anything that linux can, and more.
Except for being secure and stable...
What the hell is so great about Windows, anyway?
Windows simply isn't worth the money
and your posts seem to convey the message that everyone *should* use Windows just because they should use Windows.
I play with FreeBSD every once in a while (I'll be trying PC-BSD over the next few days, actually) but I think it's a huge stretch to say it does everything better than Linux.
I'm not sure if Linux fanboys are worse than Mac fanboys, but they're close enough...
