This comment doesn't seem to be a comparison--no mention of Linux/Ubuntu.

My experience is that Windows isn't any easier than Ubuntu. Some people just make Ubuntu harder than it has to be by wanting it to do things "the Windows way" or wanting it to run Windows software.

Admittedly, I have limited experience with Windows 7, but I did try it out for a few hours, and quickly ran back to Ubuntu. But I do have what I would call extensive user experience with Vista, XP, and...gulp...95. [Cue scary music.]

Anecdotal evidence will always have counterexamples, and at the end of the day, "easy" is a very subjective metric, but still one that many will base decisions on.

Leave ports open by default.

Charge a single-machine user hundreds for software licenses.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ubuntu-restricted-addons or use Chrome.

Playing Flash content in Linux has been well covered over many many years.

The only thing I think Windows does better than Linux is OneNote combined with the Snipping tool. The equivalents in Linux just don't have the flexibility that I can find.

seriously snipping tool? what can that do that decent screenshot app can't? and besides why the heck do they call it snipping tool? i always forget what it's called in windows and can never find it. oh i just thought of a new one. give the user a brand new interface that nobody asked for. oh wait.
