Linux has tonnes of stuff installed - almost anything i could think of and
then some :-)

and dual wincedows (XP)


/dev/sda1              21G   15G  5.6G  73% /media/IBM_PRELOAD

Windows has quite a bit of open source stuff like ooo.org. gimp. audacity
etc and apart from the OS everything elses in FOSS
