2)  Have you ever tried running a linux GUI on a low-spec machine?  It's quite painful.  Low-spec machines = commandline terminals as far as I'm concerned.  Windows also usually has a speed advantage in applications (especially launching) due to OS tricks like prefetch which linux doesn't do.

The computer I use everyday (and that I'm using to post this) has a 1.7ghz Sempron and 512MB of RAM and I run Linux with a GUI just fine.

It is fast and there is no pain at all.

Last time I checked that isn't a low spec machine... try looking at sub 800mhz and 128 megs of ram or less.  Just because a machine looks like trash next to the higher middle end doesn't make it low spec.  Of course they have distro for 386s.
