Switching to Windows, Not as Easy as You Think

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the turnabout-is-fair-play dept.

rchapman writes "Mad Penguin writer Simon Gerber has published an amusing review of Windows XP as seen from a Linux users point of view. He really makes you feel like you are trying to use Windows for the first time after exclusively using Linux. The article covers everything from the hideous installer and its lack of partitioning/formatting capabilities to the utter wasteland that is the Windows desktop, devoid of useful applications and everything in between. A fun read."

    FTA:

    Worse, the Windows desktop was ugly! I mean, uglier than usual. The local account I'd used before joining the domain had seemed nice enough. That is, except for the blue and green colour scheme, which is too similar to Linspire for my liking.

    Linspire... formerly Lindows...? I wonder where the resemblance came from?
