  Would this be understandable by the average person...

  - linux is more efficient than Windows

  - In Windows, many functions are *ALWAYS* loaded and using up
    resources even if when you don't need them, because they're
    integrated into the kernel

  - linux is more modular.  You can customize it to your taste.
