its nice having a smooth running system and not having to worry about disc cleanups, defrags, and malware programs and such. its refreshing.

Agreed which is why I really enjoy my Windows 7 gaming machine right now..

Not really for my gaming rig...
With an SSD drive you don't and shouldn't defrag.
Malware, I have something running resident so i don't have to manually do anything.
Don't get me wrong..Linux serves it's purpose , hell I run 2 different vboxed distros of it .
I just don't view one system as inherently better than the other.. Too many variables that go into a computer to say that.

i know its not supposed to take that long.

for the most part i agree. i have used windows only since 98 and just recently switched to linux.
i just remember through all the versions of windows i have had and all the computers i ran it on, i always had to have some antivirus going and then a slew of things like adaware, cc cleaner, defrags and etc etc.

Then you should see what's wrong and correct it.
Unless you want your wife to have a slow computer.
PS: if people invested as much time with Windows as they do with Linux they would see that, to the end user, they are closer than advertised.

Windows 98 was one of the worst, surpassed only by WIndows ME. I jumped from 95 to 2000.
I have been using Windows since 3.1.

I have only had one anti-virus program running, the only problem I had was a virus I brought home from work on a floppy disk, but I removed without the need of an anti-virus. I haven't had a problem since I started using Windows 2000, somewhere around the year 2000.
What people do (specially online) is the biggest cause of problems.
