[QUOTE="YasasSudaraka, post: 5665480, member: 95860"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=Blue] 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 [B]inside that box[/B]. 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.
