Updating tends to be awkward and haphazard. You end up wasting huge amounts of time solving arcane problems (on Windows and even more so on Linux). Updating on Ubuntu is way simpler than on a Mac. No competition. And I reboot less often with updates on Windows 7 than I do on Snow Leopard. I'm glad you like the iPad. I picked one up and found it too heavy to be practical.
