hi sandeep I used to have Linux and Microsoft windows both on my computer but never used Linux as I really needed to be tutored on using it. Now micro soft is much easier for me to use, and I have over the years learned to use it quite well. so I prefer my Microsoft windowslol

Linux and Ubuntu and other free OS are very hard for me to use it's kinda not friendly environment but very safe on surfing which means that you can surf without using Antivius. I had last time in my SIG but removed it because of unfriendly use, can even to use any program that are compatible with this OS. You have to some kinda wine thingiee sorry i forgot the name already. But Microsoft OS such as XP ,Vista and window 7 are better to use with compatible to any program I install. The onlt setback is that need to have AntiVirus program and other malware program to be safe aside from hackers and viruses.

You are absolutely correct.Linux is less vulnerable to viruses compared to other Operating Systems.It has a strong kernel.So,it is absolutely safe to browse the web in Linux without an antivirus.

I use fedora and opensuse in my computer, both are Linux flavor I wouldn't say it is hard to learn Linux, it isn't tough it's mindset of the people that Linux it tough, it's easy if you want to learn it. I feel Linux is better than windows once you know how to use it ...

Hi,
I like Windows Xp more, as I am familiar with it, even more than Linux. The registry files in windows helps you to completely customize it to quite a large extent. Linux is fine as it is optimized in terms of performance. Windows Xp is of course more vulnerable than Linux in terms of security. It is easier to find an application compatible to Xp than to Linux. Thanks
God bless you
