In general, software installation under Mandrake is much easier than Windows. Once in a while I go into Windows and install a game, and it's like reliving a bad childhood memory - close all running programs, find the installation program, watch your screen fill up with said program, find you don't have the right version of DirectX, download DirectX, install DirectX, go back to the installation program, install, reboot ...

I'd be interested to know if anyone else finds this guy exemplary of the "typical Windows user/possible convert to the light" or if he's just a dweeb.
