That is one of the reasons I am using Debian right now. The fact that all of the settings are stored in plain text files is a boon. It's also one of the reasons I use KDE instead of Gnome. IMO, gconf is not a good thing.The exact same thing can be said of windows. There are a surprising number of problems that can only be fixed in windows using the command line and/or regedit. Many of these fixes come directly from Microsoft.
What bothers me most about Windows is the price. Here, just the Basic version of Vista is 200 Euro, or about $260. The version that every SHOULD buy is 325 Euro ($422). Then you get to add the price of all the software. I don't know enough about it to say how good the security has become.
