The main problem with Windows (regarding GUI, there are many other issues) is that it’s never consistent. It changes with the mood of Microsoft’s execs and their need to set the trend, while at the same time having a pretty poor grasp of what the trend is. Look at Windows XP, Vista, 7 and then Win 8. Where’s the consistency? The nice thing about Linux is that you don’t have people on top telling you what the system to control your (“this”) computer will look like, whether you like it or not. On Linux, you control how your system will look, feel and behave. It’s your computer.
