Anyone can say anything on an internet blog these days. Better source would be from Microsoft itself

True.  But who am I gonna believe, the guys who SELL the product or the people who acutally USE it.

Overall, I still think MS is better for the average user, but Linux can compete if it becomes easier to install and supports 3rd party software without all the 'dependancy' issues.

I've seen message boards/blogs where "inside sources" announced something Apple was doing -- stirred up a lot of anger and it turned out it was a complete lie.

I would rather trust an official announcement from the source than an blogster. But that's me.

the dep issue is fixed from teh linux side, modern installers will grabwhatever deps you need and install them to with onlt a warning to the user. The problem will be getting 3rd party software to include all deps with their releases..
