the thing is, in Windows, there's a good chance that it is broken.
btw, Windows does ask you what directory to install to when you install it. Small consolation, it doesn't win any points from me just the same.
I am a total command line dimwit. I have little to no command line skills, but have used DOS more than any of the Linux command interfaces. I have to say though, that the Linux command lines always seem more helpful than dos.
You can ask for help with commands, it tells you what the problem is, when there's a problem, instead of all this trial and error "bad command or filename" crap you get in DOS, where you try the same thing 8 or 9 times, with the spaces and dots in different places before deciding that the computer would be better used as a paperweight.
BTW, i just reinstalled windows again, and it was a pain in the ass to set up too, you know, what with hunting around for the drivers, because windows detected the wrong ones, and didn't even recognise the 'plug 'n' play hardware et c. And there's another thing. Do you have to keep reinstalling Linux? i suspect you install it once, then use it until you want to install another OS. Sensible? yes. Well with windows, you have to reinstall the fucker every few months just to show it who's boss, which is a distinct pain in the arse. If you don't you very quickly get crashes and data losses and all sorts of fun stuff...
Well those are my thoughts. What you are really asking for, rumor, is that Linux and KDE be preinstalled when you buy your factory manufactured IBM straight off the shelf of your local department store, from a smiling man who wouldn't know his BIOS from his elbow.
