Anything Windows Can Do Linux Can do it better

[ferronrsmith]

There are so many plus for linux that it over shadows it's negatives. If there is something that windows can do that windows can do that windows have trouble dong better please care to share

I am a avid linux user for a long time and i love it. I am a member of the opensource community and free software foundation.

Be a member and support opensource

ehemm, windows can catch more viruses

[Richardgm]

Someone list the positives and negatives, and then I'll vote.

[ferronrsmith]

I can't argue with that point blaze, but linux can be infected, it just won't be affected dew to the design to the kernel

To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work on it.

This is neither here nor there. You can't make a statement like that and don't back it up. Validate your statement.

EDIT: Oh, you added something while i was typing. OK.

Price -> which do you choose?
Resources utilization-> which would you choose?

web dev -> open source /php/apache/mysql
against -> asp.net/iis/access_or_msql

[ferronrsmith]

If you can prove to me that my points is wrong i'll accept until then i keep my statement. Ask Richard Stallman or Linus Torvalds i'm sure they will back my point

no matter what my friend my answer is always linux

if it for a simple task its linux, difficult linux, everything linux. If it can't be done on linux it ain't worth doing

most render farms, web servers and supercomputers trust linux for it's stability, efficiency, and uptime for there most complex and import tasks.

Media houses trust linux
render farms trust linux
data centers trust linux
supercomputer users trust linux
mainframes trust linux
weather forecasters trust linux
I trust linux

Good doc to read if not convinced that linux is a better os, even if windows as a little plus

[Aldayne]

Still not convinced, reading a document can't convince me either, but to each his own. One day i'll install a linux release and assess it thoroughly.

every man is entitled to there own opinion. I stand by mine

There are so many programs that just aren't made for LINUX. I live on messenger and i can't live without it im yet to find messenger that works on LINUX (CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG) Plus the LINUX i had (LINUX XP DESKTOP EDITION 2006 IT WAS MADE BY RED HAT I THINK) takes a year to start....I don't know maybe im just a WINDOWS guy but straight forward WINDOWS is more user friendly........
