But again windows has to be set up that way and when it is it is just as dificult to use as Linux. Also Linux and OSX make sure you know if something is being installed scripting on Windows makes it (in many cases) transparent.

No it's not. Linux presents complications to the average user much deeper than security. Windows will configure most of your hardware automatically, as long as the stuff is older than the OS you probably won't even have to remember what the hardware is to tell Windows, Windows will spot it, figure out what it is and load the drivers during install.

Oh I'm sure there's a way to make your installs silent on Linux and OSX, do you approve every single file that gets laid down?
