Of my personal experience with all sorts of Windows and Linux variants, I find it much easer to install software on windows. With Windows, you double-click on the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.exe installer. With Linux, you have to worry about<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.tar's and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.gz's and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.rpm's and make file’s and port collections and compiling source, and may other's, and it's just too complex for any average user. However, your post seemed to be more directed toward finding software, which I will admit, is not always easy on Windows.
