Linux vs. Windows


Operating system or OS is system software that manages and controls the computer resources and gives users with an interface used to access these resources. OS can be found for almost every device that is made with ICs like PC, Internet Servers, portable music players, cell phones, digital cameras and video games. There are five most popular computer operating systems including Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac and Novell. Among these Windows and Linux are the most widely used and most popular operating systems.

But both these operating systems, Windows and Linux, are completely different in technology, interface and reliability. The main differences between Windows and Linux are as follows:

1. Linux is an open source operating system whereas Windows is a closed source operating system. You can reproduce and copy the Linux codes at very low cost but not of windows.

2. Windows is very costly as compared to Linux. Linux is completely free operating system. But both these operating systems are very expensive to maintain.

3. Linux is more reliable operating system as compared to Windows. Windows creates several hidden problems that can lead to system failure. Time pressure for development of the publicized closed source product to fulfill a sales target is also a thought to play a big role in the number of errors.

Reliability is the major problem with windows operating system. It causes hidden errors that can lead to system failure and ultimately can cause data loss.
