Windows powered - 3 stars.
Linux powered - 4 stars.
That, provided, windows has been preinstalled since MSDOS on 100% of machines and 90% from antitrust lawsuit, and had 100% hardware support and did everything to push its own proprietary APIs like WinAPI and Dx, which you still keep insisting on instead of OpenGL.

What kind of reason is "linux itself"?
You accused me of being fundamentalist, but I repeat, you are the fundamentalist - you fail to provide any specific points.
Example from EEEpc, the most valued critical review among 110 reviews:
Eventually, manufacturers stopped making netbooks, and by that time Microsoft had crippled the form factor (now with better electronics and a 10" screen) with its own crippled version of Windows, and insisting that they all come with 1 G of RAM. Intel finished the job by making netbooks Linux hostile with their latest 2600 Atom based systems.
...
The keyboard is usable, if a bit squishy in its feel. One positive is that Asus put a second function key next to the arrow keys. The biggest complaint typists will have is that the spacing from hand rest to screen is cramped. You may miss when changing rows. The touchpad is one of those with the buttons integrated. The bottom of the touchpad clicks. Click feel is lousy. The pad surface is cramped. I never tested the touch aspect with the supplied Ubuntu, but I can say that with Debian, it is quite good, responding well to swipes, and one through three fingered taps.
... where is that "Linux" aspect you are insisting on?...
...
The machine comes with the not-so-capable Intel Graphics 2000 video (it's what comes with Sandy Bridge computers). Linux support is decent, though with Debian, you may want to disable, or remove Xscreensaver.
All told, a decent machine with basic hardware that gives very good battery life. If you travel, want a very portable, cheap machine that can still get work done without plugging in, this is the one for you.
Come on, stupid prick, show me where "Linux" fails!

About 1% idiotism, come!
WineHQ stats:
3690 platinum titles
3186 gold titles
2856 silver titles
2415 bronze titles
and 3936 garbage, with garbage often meaning its broken on *this* version of Wine, but works on different one.
Its really really easy to use multiple Wine versions for any title and the breakage is happening most due to DRM in games or locale checks.
The basic math reveals:
Works: 8457
Does not work on current version: 3936
Which is 68,24% against 31,76%, and inside the 31,76% there are 20% of titles that actually work, but broken in current version and only 15% that never worked.
Example - the third title from top: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...ation&iId=8136
The first title was broken since age and second title is a try to install .NET installer on Linux, something both stupid and hard.
Here goes your 1% and nvidia only bullshit, debunked!

You want Linux to succeed and insist on Dx, where its proven Dx is quite same in performance and technical level to Dx, whilst being completely cross platform.
Where did you get 1% makes me laugh even louder, as there are render backends, that are OpenGL, but windows only for the sake of developers being to lazy to implement them on any other platform and software being proprietary, which limits developers to capable. Proprietary rules?? Ahaha! PWNED. Next!

Bwahahaha! PWNED.
Regarding this 7 years no antivirus bullcrap, of course you haven't got notice of infection, because you have been ass-raped silently. Its AV that is designed to at least inform you it found something. Recently one of the girls at office I work at has catched malware solely by visiting the website, that stole all Firefox stored passwords, including all backend developer passwords of the whole company! AHAHAHA!
FYI, these do not exist without reason on wikipedia
Drive-by infection (windows only), including drive-by emails that open and execute automatically
Self executing USB infection (windows only)
Should I educate our stupid windows user more? How about a windows graphics format that is autoexecuted automatically, especially when in attachment?
Windows graphic format vulnerability
Windows is known to have over several MILLIONS OF ACTIVE INFECTIONS, while Linux has currently only a bunch of EXPLOITS that require manual attack and can be easily deflected using basic hardening.
Lets see what internets thinks about it, eh?
And what micro$$$ofts?
By running windows without antivirus, you basically are asking for it.
So, no, hole-exploited you belong!

Debian has apt-url, one click install that allows to immediately add the repo to the system, or there is a direct link to package deb which is 1-to-1 of what MSI is (thats microsoft installer binary, in the case you have no clue).
Suse has 1-click installer that immediately allows to add repo to system AND install package.
Gentoo, Arch, Exherbo allow to install the package from ports DB, that can pull out and install everything from everywhere automagically.
And windows noob still browses internets for the malware or adware infected software! AHAHAHAHAHA! PWNED.

Yep.

Or secrets that lead to creation of over 5000 all-proprietary sub-standards?
Hard worked code that doesn't sell, because it leads to bullcrap and proprietary companies going bankrupt, whilst opensource companies paid for DEVELOPMENT and not copies flourish?
Yeah, see that daily.
PWNED.
