Comment 581 for bug 1

after a fresh install, 70%-90% of the hw is working without installing any
driver.
direct download of any application you may need.

email, chat, music, video, many tools and a full customizable gui on any
workstation.
torrent, edk, kad with a few clik.
with 3 commands in a batch script you can backup your system for a disaster
recovery.
with rsync you can migrate a machine on another machine while it is running!

and last but not least, you can share it with a friend without being pointed
as a pirate!
i personally think it is not comparable with any ms os!
