PC World - 18 Features Windows Should Have (but Doesn't)

Good article showing all sorts of useful (subjective) features that exist (or have existed for a while) in other OSes (Mac OS, Linux, PC-BSD, etc) that don't exist natively in Windows. Wow -- that's a fragmented sentence...

The Great Ubuntu-Girlfriend Experiment « Content Consumer

Many Geeks have done the "Girlfriend experiment" with Linux. I know I have... many end with a similar result -- "Please put windows back on my system". Not for any MAJOR issue -- on many occasions it's just a matter of comfort. This is a very well put together article with explicit tests (and results) from a "girlfriend test" using the new Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04).

The article itself is great but what amazed me more was the amount of feedback the author received (189 at the time of this posting) and the level of detail of said feedback.

Worth a look!
