Mike Gigante of SGI gave an excellent XFS talk that went really in-depth
to it and convinced me that XFS rocked out[1]. It didn't just say "XFS
is good. XFS does journalling"; it went in-depth into the design of
every single aspect, even stuff like real-time sections. I was stunned
to see this sort of talk at LUV (as opposed to "Playing DVDs Under
Linux"), and IMHO it's the best talk I've seen, but bear in mind that
I've never been to a conference[2].

Out-of-the-box Windows isn't exactly a bad thing for new users. Having
it locked in to Windows style tho (*cough*fvwm95*cough*) is, however, a
Bad Thing.
