polishlinux.org — Linux is not a free version of Windows. The two systems differ not only visually, in the graphical user interface the user sees, but also functionally, as is frequently discussed, and legally to boot, which is constantly emphasized by the Free software community. The differences between them are very fundamental.

The boot-up process for Vista still follows the same principles - the login screen is still displayed half-way through the system loading procedure. If anything, they've increased the boot time* in Vista without an significant improvements in method. *On most default configurations. Some PCs _can_ boot quicker, but the majority do not.

In other words, any comparator which makes your favourite OS look good (security, price, etc.) is 'fair', while any comparator which makes your favourite OS look bad (software support, hardware support, user-friendliness) is unfair? Oh and by the way, I use both WinXP and Ubuntu, I'm not a Linux-hater.

"I don't regret the registry was developed; It's unfortunate that the registry was overused"It's a good answer. The registry serves an important purpose -- It provides a very fast database for simple app settings (HKCUSoftware) and registered components.
