Applications installed in Fedora/KDE may or may not appear in the F-menu, and if they do appear there I find it impossible to predict where they will appear, eg does anyone understand the difference between Administration, System and Settings? I find no such ambiguity in the Control Panel under Windows. In Windows XP, I can be pretty sure that I will find any program that is installed by going to All Programs. Nb I prefer Linux, mainly because I feel confident that it is possible to work out how some application works, given sufficient time and energy, while Windows seems to me basically a black box. It's like the difference between going to a doctor who tells you what is wrong with you, and going to one who just hands you a box of tablets.
