Normally on a linux system you look in "/home/user/.<program>/".. seldom you need to go to another folder. To install and uninstall you could use synaptic package manager to check or uncheck the programs you like.
on a windows system you normally look in "/program files/" but pretty often you need to look in "/system/" or "/system32/" or "/My Documents/" or "/user/application data/" or on "c:\" or on "d:\"... e.t.c. and then you need to go to the registry sometimes and change some settings there. If you clogged the system you need to format and all your settings are gone making it paintful to setup again. Looking fo drivers on the internet.. e.t.c.

That is only with well behaved Linux programs and poorly behaved Windows programs (both seems to be the most common on their respective OSes)

There is nothing that forces Windows programs to not clean after themselves when you uninstall them thru normal means; and nothing forcing Linux programs to not leave trash behind; it's all a matter of how they (and the uninstall methods of choice) were made.

Heh, this WinXP install has survived past 4-5 HDDs (one or two of them had errors the repair shop couldn't fix that i managed to myself) and several years so far , and this with hard use, almost 24/7 intended up time (i don't shut down when i go sleep or leave the house, but eventually it might crash when i'm not paying attention, or the light might go out), with porn browsing in unknown sites, downloading and running of cracks and keygens etc and countless programs from all sorts of sources :P

Clonned thru varied means over the ages.
It indeed doesn't flow as smooth as as a fresh install in a blank disk, but the performance difference isn't worth reinstalling and setting up all the ****, also, it would be hell to backup all the stuff i saved all over the place back when i wasn't thinking about ever needing to backup stuff; and probably by the time i had everything back it would perform pretty much as it does now.
