You'd rather have any old software company packaging dodgy dlls that are also used by lots of other programs with zero integration testing?

One thing about Linux package manager is that it completely manages all the shared libraries in a sensible maner. YOu also haven't got any of this "whats a decent program to do X'. Go into package manager and all programs are listed with their descriptions that is fully searchable. No messing with CD's or anything, totally up to date, properly tested, organised.
