I've been trying out the various Linux versions and they are fun. There is tremendous power at your fingertips, its just learning it all if you have the time. I am getting more comfortable with Linux all the time. I like XP and Vista. For people who do not want all the extra challenge of learning an operating system they are the way to go.

I am using both linux Enterprises and windows, but what are the requirements of your being a computer, if you like to work
on computer for friendly environment with games than windows is the best if you are programmer, or network administrator
i prefer you Linux because it is the best one.
Thanks

im using both OS too. i use SUSE - Linux when i want to connect to internet. i use WinXP because SOftwares and Games were usually developed for windows. i think both OS has pro and cons. for eg; there are lot of viruses wrote to attack WinOS, and WinOS is not secure enough. For linux, it is hard to fixed my hardware driver especially my USB wireless. i've tried ndiswrapper but it seem like it can't work properly.

but i support the Linux sentiment - Free Software..

I actually dont have a preference. They both are good for cerain tasks and thus one should be proficient in both. With mac's now able to run windows, it will be more beneficial to learn linux and windows so that you can utilize the graphical stuff apples can do (and understand how it works in the background) and then also be able to play games, etc in windows which you also probably will be using in the business field.

Tricky one. Linux has by the years as GPL, developed software similair to windows, so the talk about choosing Windows instead Linux because the major benifits by using windows, is not a fair reason.

Linux is sweet using it as a webserver, and because it's a GPL OS there's alot of updates and stuff for it. But the hard part is if you are new to computers and don't know mush about how to install programs in Linux, it could be a very hard OS to grasp. And as Windows is "put-in-CD/DVD" and install-os, Linux is not. It demands some degree of skill to get programs to work properly. So If you want to install linux, get as much info on how to do things before you start installing it. Because alot of things can go wrong if you don't do it right.

depends...

to basic users, and to use simple resources I prefer Windows...
to some servers application, linux is better...

but if you are new user, windows are easier to learn.

I'm probably going to put xp on it soon, and then put ubuntu on my old computer.

  4. Best Anti-spyware For Windows Xp

    I've read back a few posts with interest and have noted most of the discussion on security is
    about anti-virus software. However although I have had problems with viruses in the past most
    problems on my computer (and many others, I suspect) are now caused by spyware that are not detected
    by anti-virus progs. I'm currently using an older version of windows but will soon be getting a
    new computer with windows xp. I've been experimenting on my current computer with a number of
    trial anti-spyware packages (there seem to be very many of them). These include: spy....

    Overview Unfortunately, Apple considers the iPod a "closed platform", so technical info is
    basically non-existant. This project has involved a fair amount of guesswork, reverse-engineering
    and experimentation, resulting in a Linux kernel based on the uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org) port
    running on the iPod. We hope that this port of Linux to the iPod inspires others to see what their
    "closed platform" hardware can do! Due to the highly collaborative nature of this project, we
    decided to use a WIKI for our documentation. Its goal is to provide a strong structure of....
