Well, I could do it in no time at all in Linux - that doesn't mean
anything.  This is just an indication of our personal skill with those
particular platform.  If you're going to compare the two, you need to
see how quickly it will take a complete beginner with no
preconceptions about either platform to get up and running.

Think how long it took you to learn how to do stuff in Windows - you
have to follow the same path with Linux now.  However, this time, you
can take into account the fact that we are all here ready to help you
along the way.
