Oh yes?
Sticking the CD in and installing Windows took me about 6 to 8 hours until I
had my first working Version of Windows, and I do not talk about setting up
any software, just to get the system run at all.
On the same computer I installed Linux in about 30 min. including X.

just another 5 lines to extend the threat (oops thread ;)
