Windows OS vs Linux OS. Thats like differentiating from Completely Expensive OS to a Completely Free OS.

Actually, in todays age, we kind of crave for something free and user-friendly. Windows OS, are completely user-friendly in their features and their softwares are also user-friendly, but not all. Other than the user-friendly-ness , Windows OS shares the security of their internal code of the Operating System itself. Which means, we can’t directly change what was coded inside the Windows operating system. Windows is really quite building up to its usability, Windows was really designed as an operating system mainly use for work, thus the Microsoft Office Suite that came with the OS.

Linux, on the other hand. Is a developer type of Operating System, anyone who would like to change and modify its internal coding, can do it. Linux is distributed as a free OS, and developers can freely open the OS, without consulting from the maker (who is he anyway?). Linux also havent got that many viruses than Windows. Windows has approximately 144,000 viruses as of today and it is still counting. While Linux is still in development and those who makes the softwares also makes the viruses, who also makes the Virus Definition, who also makes the Virus scanners.

So, what were talking about is just their cost. Windows is a userfriendly OS but quite expensive (especially Vista) and Linux is a developer type OS that is completly a open-ware OS.
