The day Linux ever has an install.exe I'll stop using it. And your litlle survey is a load of crap. Of course they will say Windows is easier as that's what they have trained on and always used. Very subjective and biased. These things you would like to see would make mandrake a 6 cd set rather than 3, hell 3 is alot but look at all the things you get.
