interesting how your post is modded interesting anyway :)
Whoa... Windows for productivity?? I, for one- may be many more out there, have never been able to be productive on a Win box what with the reboots, hangs and anti-viruses taking up all my time and processing power...
Its just eye candy.. more the eye candy... more productive the marketing dept.... more sales... more duped people...
Use some common sense people. GUI = overhead. The interface is going to make normal people more productive, but people like myself GUI gets in the way I am a Linux User and console is very productive you just have to learn to use it. You know get some technical knowledge. Stop being lazy! For example, my gf has complained about M$ being slow and crashing so I told her about Linux and she did not want to go for it because M$ is nicer looking. I also tried to take off all the bells and whistles off on the interface, but she complained it was ugly. I now realize people want eye candy not true productivity. So please stop thinking that all the additional bells and whistles M$ has added is going to make you work efficiently it is just a psychological effect of looking at a screen that is aesthetically pleasing. All in all M$ is less productive has more flaws and is only good for common people to be productive because they do not want to learn more than they have too.
