Uh, yes, even the RedHat6 installed everything or so, just left out internet connections and CD burners...and noone told me that I had to "mount" CDs before use, and if the manuals and docs are in the CDs...............

The problem number 1 remains: if something goes wrong, where do you can get support if you don't have a clue how the doc and man system works???
And don't tell me that the upgrade of the kernel is a "just write -compile" task... :-)

Ok, the flaws in Windows...I think there are flaws in Linux too, but they aren't so well publicized and known: in example, I know for sure that Apache, if bad configured, is an open door to a system, even more of a bugged IIS, and not all have the ability to do a good configuration of an Apache server...such as not all can configure properly the IIS system.

Oh, well, yes, I'm a Win user who can live with its security limitations and has the time to actually WORK instead of run around all its config files, you're right ;-)
And if I have to reinstall, I can do that in about two hours included apps, not a bad thing if you haven't a LAN to administrate but a simple end user computer.
How many tasks you can do in two hours, if you have to reinstall the system? And don't tell me "Linux is installed only the first time", if you misread a conf file you can blow up your entire system (as I learned the hard way, when Linux won't even start...my fault, ok, but it can happen even to Penguinisto in a bad hairy day ;-))) ).

I'm ending here this discussion, we are waaaay off topic, but I want to be clear too: Linux is a GREAT O.S., but it's almost useless on an end user computer (unless he/she's a real "nerd" and wants to know everything about that metallic case).
