    It's nice to see a question from some one who knows the capabilities of Linux, but from a real stand point it is probably the BOT that do more damage and steal more data and information than any thing else. Windows gets hit the most because it is very popular and has the greatest number of computers running it and Windows isn't exactly that hard to attack, not even if you think you have it protected and every operating system can be attacked in one way or another. Windows doesn't offer you several different level of each format to make them more secure. Linux has several different Levels of securing the hard drive format. Don't misunderstand the knowledge of the Government about all these things, in fact they hire the greatest skilled hackers to work on protecting their operating systems and generally use the hacker to track down those who hack computers. Companies, Businesses and people do not have that kind of resource to use, and those that do pay very good money for that protection. You really can't put this all on Linux. A crook is a crook and it is just that simple.

    Basically, Linux is used for software development, and doesn't have the networking capabilities of windows. Windows is actually a very tough operating system, but because it makes up over 80% of the market share as far as operating systems go, it gets targeted most heavily by hackers. that's why Windows gets so many viruses. If OS-X were the dominant OS, then it would be hacked more often than Windows, and same with Linux. It's just a matter of where hackers put their energy, not the actual quality of the operating system. Proper Virus Protection will go a long way towards protecting your Windows PC from attacks of all sorts.

    A coomputer without an working device isn't something. The working device is a undemanding set of courses that takes the keypress on the keyboard and interprets the enter, it operates the disk and the reveal reveal and it incredibly is the shell that helps different courses to run, like spreadsheets, browsers and video games. Microsoft has developed their proprietary operations device for foundation Intel based processor platforms for years, ultimately into the homestead windows platforms we see now. Is costs approximately $a hundred or so as priced via Microsoft. UNIX grew to become into stepped forward and nevertheless sucessfully used for a sort of pc proceessors. HP, sunlight, and many different license their UNIX platforms for super desktops for companies for plenty of money. Linus Torvalds, a student years in the past, desperate to place in writing an Intel based UNIX working device. He observed because it Linux. He additionally desperate to make it freely available to each physique via exposing the code to the well-known public and letting people who had a greater effective concept make contributions to its evolution. it truly is the character of Open source.in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it truly is customarily unfastened, some agencies, like SUse and Redhat have further their own proprietary advantageous factors and charged for distributions.

    The Reason that it's so easy to break into PC's beacause the rules that govern file permissions on DOS filesystems are pretty much ignored by UNIX operating systems, because they do not make sense to the kernel. the best fix I can offer is to convert your PC's to OpenSUSE. then your file permissions will be obeyed by unix operating systems. AND dos operating systems

    well, i think the main differences are.. linux is faster than windows(atleast ubuntu is), and looks cooler, and never gets viruses. windows is great for gaming, is filled with viruses, and looks stupid.

    and viruses are mainly on windows because windows came first, and people are too stupid to learn how to make viruses for linux.
