Microsoft clearly has been hiring intellectually handicapped programmers for years. Try to install Windows 7 updates, and Windows falls flat on its face. Can't find the internet. D'oh? Any modern Linux distro finds the Internet without a hitch. Microsoft requires nursemaiding to guide it along. "Right this way, dear. No, don't go potty in the trash can. To your left, dear. The commode. Yes, that's it. Now, now."
Estimated time of installation for Windows: ten hours.
Estimated time of installation for Linux: ten minutes.
Windows 7 should be renamed Windows .07 alpha trialware. Because it will be a trial getting anything done in Windows.
Windows 7 is such an obvious kludge: it crashed three times just installing updates--and installing updates took hours and hours. Most of the updates concerned security holes that Microsoft's doofuses left in their code.

Windows 8 is worse yet, not only can it not find the Internet, they make it hard to find the Control Panel. And worse, their stated objective is to make a PC more like an IPad. There are no words in English, German, or Japanese to describe how incredibly STUPID and/or what a huge step backward that is!
I agree that Windows 8 is stupider than Windows 7. I've actually come around to appreciate Windows 7 a bit more now that I finally got the home network working. I think Microsoft released an update that finally fixed home networking. Whatever it is, I did not have near the amount of difficulty connecting to my Windows XP machine that I did last time around. I think twenty hours to install a Windows rig is actually doing pretty good. Of course, Linux Mint only takes an hour or two, but that is like comparing a diamond to a cow-dropping.
