Hi

Just wondered if we could between us come up with a new column for Linux
to go with this table to produce a comparison between Linux and windows
7,  this may help members who want to argue for Linux.

for example catagories for

remote desktop - yes (esp if you include the command line)
encrypting file system - i guess yes again

but for each of the catagories.

This is NOT about bashing microsoft, i want to make a fair comparison of
features,  aero = compiz for example.  yes it may be pointless eye candy
but it's eye candy all the same, so we can include it.

lets make a table up, and see if we can help people make comparisons, so
if a windows user cites a certain feature we can at least suggest a
similar feature under Linux
