If I compare a Gnome2 desktop and Windows XP, both are equaly fast and usable. Even the startup time of both system is comparable. Mozilla takes more time to start on the linux box, but this is only true if I activate the fast startup option on XP which loads parts of the brower while the system boots. Video replay and AVI encoding seems to be faster on the linux box, though. > 2. What is presented on the screen should always be consistent (i.e. no > flickering).

XFree configured itself on my machine. I can not remember, I ever changed this configuration, it just runs fine. I have an old machine which can�t be configured automatically. I had to generate a config file by myself. But this machine is too slow to run Windows XP, so the ability of the windows system to use dialog-based configuration would not help here either.
