I can only compare it with win 98 se. Well, the trivial things might be easier with win, but everything a little bit more complicated than clicking on a setup.exe is far more complicated on Win IMHO. All this stuff in the unreadable registies, win.ini isnt understandable, where is man win.ini ? And PPP, what a mess ;-) I wish there were a handbook and a faq like the things in /usr/share/doc. Maybe this would make win more usable. But my view might be different if win would work better on my hardware. No chance to find out, why it doesnt boot the way it should, I allways have to boot twice, the first time I have to reset, it hangs, the second time I have to be quick not to miss this menu where I have to choose "normal", or I must boot 4 times ;-) There are very few reasons to boot win, midi and premiere, maybe sometimes MS Word because wordperfect doesnt understand the newest *.docs..
