I have been a Linux user for 12 years and do not use Windows at
home. So I hope that this statement will make it clear that I am not a
Windows zealot. 

Windows is not worth using for many reasons, but that does not mean
that Linux is perfect.

That said, it my firm opinion that though Linux install process has
made progress, it still SUCKS as far as

- Providing 100% clear, understandable instructions and help
- Giving user control over partitioning using a simple language (other
than /dev/sde1 etc)
- controlling settings of grub

Windows install sucks even more, of course, since it blows out other
operating systems without choice. But Linux setup sucks as well. It
needs to be addressed and worked on as a large project.
