I'm an user of OS X, Windows 7 and 8.1 and Linux (Fedora or openSUSE)..
My desktop has Windows 7 and Fedora installed.. After a day of use since install, both systems booted in (less than) 1.20min After 3 years of use, the Fedora boot time is the same..
Windows boot time? It's not booting! (really)..
But the last week that time was more than 5 minutes.. Never had a virus or spyware, i have a host file in my router..
Last week, while watching a movie on a slow notebook, Windows started to reboot.. And in the screen: Applying update 1 of 5..
Of course, the movie night was over.. 5 updates and 3 reboots for a slow notebook is not a good thing..
Can you imagine that scenario, but instead of a movie, think about an important PowerPoint presentation, to your boss or a couple of people..
Is Windows ready for desktops?
I think that, in Linux distros open source drivers are not the problem (you can compare them to the generic ones that Windows installs)..
The problem is that people doesn't look in the right places.. I know people that follow a guide from some place, for a specific distro, to install a Catalyst or nVidia version from 2012.. And they blame AMD or nVidia..
Some guides are out of date..
And this is from Video drivers only..
