Well I think that depends a lot on the variety of Linux to be honest, 
however what some demand seems to be a version of the the install that 
asks you "Are you sure you want to do this" 17 times (Oh no wait a 
minute that's UAC :) ) yet still allows you to simply click through and 
do the damage. As has been pointed out it seems that the windows 
installers never even see OS except other windows, and I cant say I have 
seen a Ubuntu install EVER click through.

I think the original post was little more than someone complaining that 
he set fire to his house and now blames the maker of the matches for 
giving him the option... MacDonalds and Coffee spring to mind :)
