Story: Ten key differences between Linux and Windows

A fair list

Your list seems well thought out and fair to both Windows and Linux. I would make a couple of comments, however.

#5) Microsoft PowerShell is a pretty good command line for Windows, integrating nicely with the .NET framework and making command line Python scripts (I'm biased ;-) easy to use. It's an add-on, and completely different from standard bash, but it's quite powerful and useful if you are Windows-centric and don't mind learning something new.

#9) What kind of media (or what distribution of Linux) fails to auto-mount? Perhaps I'm just charmed, but I haven't had anything fail in the past 2-3 years on mainstream distributions such as Ubuntu.

But thanks for the nice overview. At the risk of inciting the Mac faithful, perhaps you could throw in OS/X next time just for flavor? :-)
