Windows application and/or driver installation requires the application/package

This is precisely the point where Linux package system is far easier and secure to use than Windows one.

No Linux distro I have tried has EVER followed as simple an installation process. Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu, DSL- Each had its own quirks, almost all of which required shell commands. (In fact, I believe all required it.)

When you tried those distros maybe you missed pirut, synaptics etc, the GUI frontends to rpm, apt, etc ?

The Continuing War Against Microsoft's "Facts" Campaign 316

Rather than give any legitimate comparison facing off Windows Server vs similarly spec'd Linux options, the Microsoft spin doctors opt for bunkum and hogwash with sensational headlines that don't have any substance underneath. Here's the state of play, including an update on my request to Microsoft PR to do something about the blatant lack of integrity displayed. I also go over the latest case study put up by Microsoft: they promise to show why people are choosing Windows Server 2008 over Linux using the City of Uppsala as an example."
