First version of Windows – Windows 3.1 released
in 1992 by Microsoft.

Windows is a GUI based operating system

It has powerful networking capabilities, is

multitasking, and extremely user friendly
Stability of Windows

General Stability:
Windows operating systems
based on the NT kernel are technically
much more stable than some older
versions.
Customization in Windows
Size and Colour
By default, Windows only offers customization of size
and color of the graphical elements.

Window Blinds or Lite Step

These are the software used for the customization of

windows
Security in Windows
As of 2009, well over 2 million malware programs target
Windows.

Malicious software

Anti-malware programs

Root kit infection
Users may have to resort to reformatting the system's hard
disk and re-installing Windows.
Display in Windows
Localization of Windows
Multilingual User Interface (MUI)
The Multilingual User Interface (MUI) can be used to

provide multiple languages on one installation, and in

certain editions of Windows (such as Ultimate) it is
possible to switch languages from the control panel.

Multiple Languages.
LINUX
Linux was originally built by Linus Torvalds at
the University of Helsinki in 1991.

Linux is a Unix-like, Kernal-based, fully memory-

protected, multitasking operating system

It runs on a wide range of hardware from PCs to

Macs.
Stability of Linux
General Stability:
There are several indirection levels
since all applications are separated from the
graphic subsystem (X Server) which itself is
detached from the Linux kernel.
Customization of Linux
Colour and Size
Linux offers several user interfaces to choose from.
Different environments and window managers
offer various levels of customizability, ranging
from colors and size to user input, actions, and
display.
Security of Linux
Top Notch Security In Linux
Linux seems to be more prepared for protecting itself
because of the beginning developments of Linux, UNIX,
and FreeBSD which were aimed at top notch security

Registry Keys

Linux Is Virus Proof

Fundamental Difference between
Linux & Windows

Open Source –
One fundamental
difference between the two systems is
the fact that Linux is "open source".
Linux vs. Windows
Features Provided
• Both support Dynamic Caching
• Both have Multi-user Support
• Keeping up to date By Upgrading Linux upgrades faster
than Windows.
• Compatibility Linux is Backward Compatible unlike
Windows.
Linux vs. Windows
Cost – The most obvious advantage of using
Linux is the fact that it is free to obtain, while
Microsoft products are available for a hefty and
sometimes recurring fee.
Security - In line with the costs, the security
aspect of Linux is much stronger than that of
Windows.
Linux Vs. Windows
Choice (Freedom) -
The power of choice is a great Linux advantage. With Linux,
you have the power to control just about every aspect of the
operating system.

Features – Two
major features you have control of are your desktops look and
feel by way of numerous Window Managers, and the kernel.
