With knowledge you need half a day, for Windows people without knowledge 
need half an hour ;). But comparisons like this are useless. The 
conclusion that people started with Windows and don't know Linux isn't 
true for the scene were I'm from. We started with the C64 etc. and then 
we used Linux only and because of troubles with real-time audio some 
switched to Windows. As an audio engineer on work I had to work with 
Microsoft and Apple and less trouble, at home I'm using Linux with lot 
of troubles.
