I think you're all missing the point of the parent's post.
On a fresh-out of the box install, on Linux you have:
1. A compiler (GCC), ready to use as soon as you login
2. A choice of windowmanagers to pick from
3. Plenty of games, not just Solitaire, Hearts, Freecell, and Minesweeper
4. Networking tools as part of the base install
5. Powerful shells to choose from in the base install
This is all part of any Linux distribution and ready to install... as opposed to Windows where you have to go out and download extra utilities.
EXTRA being the key word, meaning you can't get those features straight from the Windows install CD.
