Think that MS made huge improvement with Vista. If, lets say, xp was 100
(some imaginary) points behind linux on desktop, vista narrowed that gap
to some 70 points. On shiny new and strong hardware vista is much more
responsive than xp (until, of course, it freezes). Maybe that speed gain
should deserve even more "points", but terrible new version of windows
explorer and some other drawbacks subtracted that to 30. Finding and
installing some software and drivers for vista is also much more demanding
as installing winmodem or wl under linux.
As of office suite, think that all mentioned are hiper-bloated as 95% of
users are never using 90% of "features".
Why I think that linux is better on desktop than windows? Because it is
much easier to learn installing, configuring and using any linux
distribution then any (newer) windows version. NTFS permission system is
too complicated for any ordinary user who hardly can resolve any little
more complicated problem by himself. Constant lagging in windows is huge
obstacle that ms have to solve to come even close to linux.
I'm little concerned bout linux too, as some distributions and desktop
env. are becoming more bloated but than in linux there is always choice:
lighter DE and more optimized distributions.
