I'll tell you one thing right now, if Linux came with the few, VERY few tools that Windows comes with; We would only see maybe 10 bug fixes a year. The Kernel, untill recently, had very few holes that needed updated.
Well, was Linux as widely used as it was until recently? (On a side note: How's the 2.6 kernel? I've yet to install it)

KDE, Gnome, WindowMaker, all of those, they all are separate programs that Windows does not have, so I left them out.
There's Litestep, but it isn't included in Windows. Some WM arn't included in Linux either, it depends how you look at it, really.

Generally speaking, Linux IS more reliable. Reliable as in both won't crash, and also, doesn't need rebooted so much. Windows needs a reboot wether you admit it or not. When you install updates, you have to reboot, in Linux, unless it's the kernel, you don't.
Now, leave Windows up for a few days. eventually you will see those lovely lag problems. They weren't as present in Windows server 2003, but they are there....Something I'v never seen in Linux.
Yeah, Windows 2003 is fine being left on for long amounts of time. I leave mine on for weeks. As well, there are updates that don't need a reboot that I've had with Windows 2003. After auto-matic update, it didn't ask to reboot, it just said it was finished.
Although, for the most part, I agree with your post. (First one, just about to read the second one).

WinFS sounds awesome and I'd love to take it for a drive. From what I understand, the GUI is an XP paint job, but I'm certain that will change, as it isn't released yet. But like I said, I am mainly looking forward to WinFS.
Yeah, Longhorn definatly looks good, WinFS looks neat, and I believe they are making a new cool looking GUI for it, it just looks like XP now becasue it's Alpha.
Peace
