One thing I note is that she compares the  difficulty  of  installing
linux with the ease of using Windows that is pre-installed.  She says
nothing at all about installing Windows, and it's unlikely  that  she
has  ever tried it.  Maybe we should all send her email pointing this
out.  A comparison of the ease of installing both  systems  would  be
interesting  and  meaningful,  as  would  a comparison of the ease of
using various  pre-installed  versions  of  both.   But  comparing  a
pre-installed  Windows with a do-it-yourself linux is a typical thing
done by marketing people.  It's really propaganda, not comparison.
