Linux vs. Windows

[Gaguar2]

I'd like to share you a paper titled "Linux vs. Windows". I chosed Slax and Ubuntu for this study.

I haven't read every word, but I'll make some comments based on what I have read.

1. Get a spell checker. 'Distrobutions'? 'Vast versa'?
2. Memory useage is a bit of a misnoma. Yes, Windows grabs all the available memory and is quite agressive in the way it uses it, but it speeds the system up by caching as much as it can. To claim that Windows is a memory hog isn't necessarily a true reflection.
3. Your 'Comperession table' has no key - it doesn't say whether 3 is good or bad. You seem to have Linux down as a 3 for interoperability, in which it is King-Of-All-It-Surveys, and 1 for trojans and viruses, which may get in but will normally be utterly harmless.
4. Linux is strong for servers but is now also an extremely competent desktop os; my missus wont use Windows now, this doesn't seem to be reflected in your assessment.

I am locking this thread as IMO this is just flame-bait, no matter how well intentioned.
