WTF? The best you could say is that they both boot in roughly the same amount of time. Not a glowing review for Windows there.
Are you joking? Try using Google, there are billions of comparisons of ext3/4 with FAT32/NTFS. I am sure you can guess who always wins.
I didn't say they didn't boot in roughly the same amount of time. That's right, and there's nothing wrong with that. All OS's have to load up similar stuff in similar ways and have similar boot times. Big effin deal. I hardly have to reboot any of my systems anyways.
Here's a google'd comparison for you: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_windows_part1&num=1
tl;dr read the first and last page.
This just seems like you haven't ever used Linux except perhaps from a Live CD/Live USB. I've been using Linux in various forms for over a decade, and it has always been better than Windows in lots of ways. The big one? It's absolutely free. You don't have to be masochistic or a geek to use Linux at all. I know lots of computer inept people who ONLY use Linux.
It's free. Okay.
Sure, casual people can use Linux fine cause all they stuff they need is already installed in most cases. Yay, Facebook! If you want to do other more advanced stuff you have to mess with command lines, packages and all that annoying crap.

Well I don't want to fuck with having to apt-get like 10 different things and get certain libs to get stuff to work when I can just use a binary installer or program in Windows just fine in 2 clicks.
WTF are you talking about? Software that was written 25 years ago still runs on Linux. I challenge you to show me one piece of 25 year old software that will run on Windows without an emulator of some sort.
Yeah, maybe certain software that was written specifically for Linux. Have fun messing with hardware/driver incompatibilities though and having to use 3rd party drivers or not having certain things work at all like a Wifi adapter.
