Actually Windows is relatively easy to install. It just requires somewhere 
between 9,000 and 9,250 boots. A stock install of Mandrake or Corel one 
a platform where all the hardware is supported by Linux is actually better 
than Windows. But, once you start throwing in choices, such as which 
desktop, KDE or Gnome, networking, you have more choices. I would 
like to get her at an installfest with a desktop system whith supported 
everything, then we should install Linux from scratch and Windows from 
scratch. The real difference is that with Linux (or BSD) we have more 
software (such as compilers which are not included with Windows), and 
more choices (how many windows managers do we have?).
