You really can't compare a windows desktop and a Linux desktop like
that. They're two very different environments.

performs windows.
But I also believe that is in part due to the fact that Open Source
applications are written better as well :-)

Bill Gates: Well, we don't know everything they are up to, but we do
know their slogan and we disagree with that.
