Running windows is like playing with an action figure. You take it out of the box and it does what it's supposed to. Linux I consider more like a Lego set. Sure you have to put some stuff together before you really play with it, but it's YOUR creation by the time your done with it and you can modify to suit your use case

I really love this analogy, and plan to steal it for future use.
