FAULT #1: If windows is so great why does it take up nearly 50% of processing power on a 2.8 ghz processor when it isn't doing anything? (That was before services tweak but, should I really have to do that on a fresh install?)
Odd, my runs at a steady 2%, just like the rest of my installations before I tweak them. If your installation is taking up 50%, you have spyware/adware/a virus. And yes, on the installation of

FAULT #3: How about the outrageous hard drive space it takes? RH can fit a full install and two different GUI's in what 1.5 gigs. Or OBSD which is less then 500mb. Windows with updates is about what 2.5 maybe 3gb. And then there's the memory usage. If you let it Windows alone would use a gig of memory. [What I mean is with my original 512 it used half of that now that I'm at 768 it uses half of that... And I know people at 2g of mem and they say windows uses nearly half of that (This is without anything running)]
Sounds like someone who didn't learn how to use windows. The Windows core itself takes only 1.3 Gigs (By the way, a full redhat install is 5.4 gigs, not 1.5) but the additional applications (browser, notepad, wordpad, fonts, calculator, and a plethora of other non OS things). Thus, if you did a typical install of Redhat to give you everything Windows installs at the start, they are the same size. Your entire argument doesn't make sense.
