Simple: Windows sucks in countless more ways.

Yup, got Mandrake 10.1 up & running for several months now, and I'm still
looking for the sucky bits. However, they seem to be hidden very well, and
I'm getting a bit bored with everything working flawlessly. So perhaps you
could give me a clue? I'm sorry to bother you with this silly question,
especially when all that Windows suckiness is so quick and easy to find -
heck, Windows already starts sucking even before you actually fire it up;
just check the receipt that came with your new computer!
