    btw for thread starter why did you even think to start a comparison like this.
    Micro+GATES:rofl: and Linux are totally flowing on a different aspects of IT.
    From a point of view of IT we prefer linux much more than windows. Cause in linux you can actually see and change what is happening in there. Nothing is hiding.
    But in windows it's a different story. we have to accept what gates give us and and do everything inside that box.


    that doesn't mean linux is 100% non profitable. But it doesn't steal our wallets like mr.gates.:eek::growl:
    Well the bad thing about linux distributions is it's distro system. as you are
    not accompanied with working net connection then using linux distribution is a nightmare. :lol:

    if you compare the windows and linux i'll give you some hints.


    • first of all as shan4dfjfun said ,the virus song. :lol:. There are viruses which can attacks linux kernals , but in present days they are so few than the fingers count.

    • But in windows .. well it's kind a usual thing to have a virus in machine. isn't it. Have to use various virus guards which slows down the cpu in considerable amount.
    • If you talk about media playing thing, linux distributions can play back virtually any kind of media files of course you have install the relevant codecs (as the codec packs in windows) for that and you need a working internet connection or (if you are using ubuntu) downloaded medi ubuntu repos. (as because the media products are proprietary protected)
    • if you are seeking for a exclusive look high performance pc then go for a ubuntu with compiz and emerald enabled. Tell you what, the aero concept of windows is a totally copy cat of beryl and compiz projects under linux family. Even in Windows7, the desktop windows transparent effect that you get when you place mouse in right bottom corner of desktop is a one of tiny compiz illusion which came in way back.




    • if you miss your favourite windows based softwares in linux now they have a solution for that also, you can install and run windows based softwares (for certain extent) in linux with Wine (windows emulator) engine.

    • If we talk about the security of windows, anyone can break the windows login password with a simple (*******) live cd. LOL:lol: it's a few second thing.
    • Of course the windows xp is a very good os in sake of normal users who wish their pc as friendly as possible to use. But of course with sudden blue screen of death which kills you in a middle of a work.
    • And of course in programming, there is no limit that what you can do with linux rather than stuck inside of gate's start logo. :lol:.
    • And finally my dear friend don't go shopping for Vista. if you don't know be aware of that Vista is the second largest failed IT project in history. Even today they didn't able to acomplish their marketing goals of vista.
    • How can you market a OS which uses more than 30% of main memory for the core OS.
    • 5% to 12% CPU process usage in System Idle. :lol::lol: LOL
    • There are still most of the (legacy systems') hardware drivers are missing for Vista.
    What can you learn about a OS when none of the source codes are not existing there it self.:no:
    Why paying thousands for one man, support the open world.
    If you can't don't disgrace Linux.
    come out of the box of windows and see the huge fan base for Linux out there and they continuously giving their helping hand for improve it.

    Finally i must mentioned the aspect of ubuntu. It's all about Humanity to others in a free and open world

    Dude. I'm not from Microsoft or Bell Labs. But seriously your business knowledge is so poor. Windows *TM is a commercial software and Linux is a freely distributed software. Thats why windows is called as proprietary software. Remember you can try always before you buy.

    About my virus song. I don't like to teach you what a virus is. But simply its another type program with a bad purpose (malicious). So if your root you'll tend to execute it without hesitation. you are the center of your own destruction (thats called user power). And remember virus guard is another software to catch such bad codes.

    Please don't misunderstand me but has Linux correctly defined the term "user". User can be computer oriented or non-computer oriented person. Some wants authority some don't. So its interface should be for both. But Linux is far away from the adaptation of the concept of experience inhabitation.

    Yeah windows is like a game it needs more memory more advanced hardware. If not we'll be using the same crappy PC still. Revolutions of computer based hardware has happened in parrel with the development of the software.No need for bigger examples. look at the graphic cards today, now latest ones are having memory more than 2GB. Because to support bigger games software. If you put that to linux point of view. you'll never create any games bigger than the ones currently in there.

    Unix is the other best OS.It shares its versatility with others and develop its base further. Remember Linux is Unix like OS. Whatever you create falls under these 2 categories (Windows or Unix).

    At last if you are a SE (software Engineer) what would you do if suddenly all started developing FOSS. Or what if your Licensee is made GPL and freely distributed. You will feel the same pain as millions of developers in the world. So free stuff are good at a extent. & also remember linux comes without a warranty. You are on your own. No support at all (support is provided by the community). But just this If I'm a Hacker will you download the distortion I created and install it in your valuable system??
