Why do Windows programs suck so freaking much? (and what can they learn from
Linux)
,----[ Quote ]
| Look, I'm sorry, but it has to be said. Open Task Manager on any Windows
| computer and chances are there are a hundred processes even if you're just
| sitting idly on the desktop. What's with the obsession to constantly make
| crap run on startup? Let's look at some common offenders and how to cut them
| down to size.

| Consider the best update system for any operating system around – the one
| used by Linux. Yes, here’s my Linux blast: almost every single application
| for Linux can be updated using the one and the same package management tool.
| This includes the core kernel updates themselves through to the most obscure
| and tiniest of applications.
|
| There is no need for a gazillion software updaters by different vendors which
| all work in different ways, at different times. Instead, the Linux
| repositories allow you to keep every piece of code on your system up-to-date
| with the one single action. It’s clean, it’s understandable and it’s
| consistent.

Mandriva 2008.1 Package Manager
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva Spring 2008.1 is no doubt a great distribution. It has good
| collection of default software, has excellent hardware detection, has
| proprietary drivers and software and an overall great out of box experience.
|
| People, including me, often complain about its Package manager. With 2008.1,
| Mandriva has greatly improved RPMDrake. Its fast, has good number of packages
| and beautifully handles dependencies.
| Lets have a little detailed look.

Utter Crap?: Matt Asay and The Linux Desktop Q&A (and Video)
,----[ Quote ]
| Some of the installers such as Ubuntu’s will even import your Windows account
| information during the install, which is pretty slick. Not as seamless as a
| migration from one OS X instance to another, but not bad given the
| complexity.
