I would describe that as a user and developer community. This includes
people are meeting all over the world in real live - which is rarely
happening on Windows (more often with Mac users)
7) ....
I would add:
* Security - The platforms on which GNOME primarily runs are more
secure against attacks from the internet
* Viruses and trojans are less of a problem, also
* add-free software and less spyware (especially important for
business
workstations)
Off the top of my head, I would also add Localisation and
Accessibility. GNOME is translated into languages that Microsoft are
unlikely ever to care about. And assistive technologies on Windows
cost $$$. (E.g. the basic version of JAWS, one of the more popular
Windows screenreaders, costs $895.)
