International: Linux will eventually outperform Windows for ten reasons (I)

International: Linux will eventually outperform Windows for ten reasons (I)-Linux general technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. From: CSDN

[CSDN compilation in February 20] Windows 7 may be popular with users, but Jack Wallen, the author of this article, is not optimistic about the outlook for Windows. He believes that Linux's dominant position in the operating system field is only a matter of time. In his blog, he wrote:

I think that Microsoft's incorrect route has come to an end and there will be an alternative product, namely Linux. Microsoft started rolling small and vicious snowballs when Windows Me was released, and the snowball rolled bigger and bigger. Windows development also experienced ups and downs (XP is a bright spot of course), but most of the time, the public no longer holds the idea that "Windows is the core of personal computers.

The following are ten reasons why Linux will eventually win over Linux:

1. Ups and downs of Windows
One thing Microsoft can always trust is that its new operating system is never trustworthy. Let's take a look at the major versions in history:
* Windows 95: Completely revolutionizing PCs;
* Windows 98: Windows 95 fails to be upgraded;
* Windows Me: almost useless;
* Windows NT: attempts to introduce enterprise-level applications into the operating system. However, to make such a thing run, we must have the same IQ as Stephen Hawking;
* Windows XP: Return to the failed Windows operating system. Since Windows 95, there has been no such simple operating system;
* Windows Vista: Same as Windows Me.
* What does Windows 7 bring to us?

2. Consistent Linux versions
Compared with 1 listed in this article, the Linux version is not only more but also more stable. Of course, there will also be unsatisfactory works on the road of development (Fedora 9 is one of them), but in general, the development of Linux has been steadily moving forward. With the development of time, the release of almost every Linux version is improved, and this progress is not limited to kernel. Looking at today's desktops, end-user software, servers, security, management tools, and so on, are constantly improving over time. Let's see how much KDE 4 has increased from 4.0 to 4.3. Whether it's an application or a system, the development of Linux is almost always going forward.

3. Rising Windows prices
Recently, many people who have worked as Microsoft administrators for a long time have asked me if I have something better to replace Exchange. Why? Microsoft changed the product license for Exchange-for every user, now everyone logging on to the Exchange server must have the product license. If you have 100 employees (including administrators) who want to log on to Exchange, pay for them all. When you have to pay more than 500 Exchange product licenses for large companies, the situation is quite scary. Taking into account the current economic form, it is ridiculous for Microsoft to adopt such a bold change in product licenses. when the world is facing a severe economic recession, Microsoft is really irresponsible to adopt such a charging barrier, and should be condemned.

4. Stable Linux prices
In contrast to article 3 of this Article, the price for open-source software products is consistent-$0.00. When Microsoft administrators ask me which products I choose to replace Exchange, I recommend eGroupware and Open-X-Change. Both are great group software tools, even more powerful than Microsoft's Exchange. Both eGroupware and Open-X-Change are reliable, scalable, secure, and free. The only thing you need to pay for is the hardware used to install them. In addition, there is no limit on the number of users. Either one user or 1000 users are excellent open-source software.
