  The fact is that it's an unfair comparison.  Comparing Windows to a
  Linux distribution (with ALL the software bundled with it) is like
  comparing flour with a big mac.

  http://dict.die.net/linux/ -  The GNU project has provided large
  numbers of quality tools, and together with other public domain
  software it is a rich Unix environment.  A compilation of the Linux
  kernel and these tools is known as a Linux distribution.

  So, I think the real argument here should be "what's a fair
  comparisson".  If someone was to build a Linux distribution (could =
base
  it on RedHat for example), and put it together as a like-for-like =
match
  to Windows (i.e. include a basic text editor, calculator, file manager
  etc), then this would prove a fair comparison imho.  We could call it
  "Winux", and it would exist purely to prove a point.

  Chris.
