Fight Club (Mandriva vs Windows 7)

The war has begun, The final release of Windows 7, the latest (and greatest?) version of windows is just months away.
A face off between Mandriva Linux 2009.1 spring and the release candidate of Windows 7 which is freely available on Microsoft's site (FREELY)!!!

I read the article quite many times repeatedly and can extract an idea that gradually Microsoft is moving towards open source business, but it will be too early to say this.

In Windows 7 Microsoft tried a lot for GUI support and must say, They succeeded !!!

Here I provide Ratings b/w them:

So, guyzzz it's upon you to judge :-))

My views:
I use Linux O/S with a real flair, but judging on the fact,
Don't be Fooled!!! Mandriva any day!
Though Windows looks great but does nothing else, we (RHCEs) are command line experts and say, GUI are for idiots :-(
So, if you need good version of Linux kernel, other than Fedora they can also go with Mandriva spring edition.
