Windows:

Install program... (possibly reboot)... repeat ad infinitum

* Another 8 hours later *

Shit I'm tired...

Linux:
New install
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (and/or dist-upgrade if required)

* 20 minutes later *

apt-get install firefox thunderbird gimp inkscape.... <enter>

Then get some coffee and read a book
Err... why are you ignoring the very real benefits of using linux?

Do both in one command.
