    This is taken from Microsoft training material meant for promoting Windows 7 to Bestbuy employees. Eventhough they have taken it bit far, I agree with most of Microsoft’s statements.
    Ok, Linux has a better design, and maybe it can even be considered secure than Windows (highly debatable though...). But in usability and compatibility aspects it sucks BIG TIME. I support Linux and use it, but it is not the layman's operating system, PERIOD!

    you are right!! but Lets say Unix has a better Design

    there are a group of people who wants things to be done in the easy way. people want to concentrate on the work, not where they are doing the work.

    me too use linux, but i dont like linux windows comparisons, cos they are two different OS mainly focused two different type of users.

    the best is always depends on the user and what is it being used for....

    for a gamer, choosing linux is one stupid thing. cross over office and virtualization isnt going to be happening. no one need to make their games open source, cos they got no pain to develop games for free.

    usability is also important. linux is good if you are a computer geek. windows is designed to work with less troubles and is very user friend and noob friendly as well.

    apps designers are making them to earn from them, so better apps with polished interface will be available for windows.

    linux has its own advantages. these days, linux distros are struggling to replace windows by being unusually user friendly while some distros are decided to be natively linux by being "geek only" ex arch linux.

    Had enough with linux ha..

    I don’t think Linux and Windows are targeting completely different user basses anymore. At least not when the new usability oriented distros like Ubuntu are concerned. In that comparison, MS is focusing on those so called *user friendly* linux distros bundled with Netbooks and Notebooks (not the server oriented variations).

    agree!

    no one need to make their games open source

    but machan 'linux is open-source' does not imply that 'all the softwares for linux are open-source'

    windows is designed to work with less troubles

    that also depends on how you define troubles ! LOL

    apps designers are making them to earn from them

    true. do you know how much MathWorks earn anually from selling their softwares for Linux? LOL

    struggling to replace windows

    thats simply misleading. its not the objective. if linux is a non-profitable thing whu they struggle?

    linux has its own advantages

    agree. windows too

    ekanam atta.But malli Live Works in MaC OS

    No. my point is, live essentials made for microsoft operating systems. isn't it?
    So it is not fair to compare that product with applications in linux operating systems. :)
