Let's make a list of why Windows sucks
piratePenguin:
* It sets up an insecure environment for the user.
* It overwrites the MBR no matter what, and doesn't set the bootloader up so other installed OSes can easily be booted.
* Kludgy not-well-thought-out user interface.
* You have to click the start button to shut it down.. wtf?

The spike in CPU usage - was that when you moved the mouse?
That brings me on to another mammoth of a problem with windows:
* SHIT MEMORY MANAGEMENT!
also:
* it packs the shittiest of drawing programs ever.
* it packs the shittiest of web-browsers ever.
* it packs the shittiest of themes ever (I've come across alot of Windows users who BUY the WindowsBlinds theme).
* It's god-damn annoying to use.
* lots of shitty updates (if you think the recent Ubuntu fuckup was bad (which it was!), there was a recent Windows 2000 (iirc) update which introduced a bunch of critical-enough security holes)

that spike was when i opend the task manager my linux rig does that to...

Fan noise is one thing, and it is to be expected. But I'm talking about drive seek noise. The hard drive is working. Probably writing and erasing graphics to swap space.
