100 Reasons Why Linux Kicks Ass

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is the universal operating system. It runs on everything from personal 
| computers to traffic signals. Airplanes, automobiles, and even wrist watches can 
| also run Linux. Originally started as a hobby in 1991, Linux creator Linus 
| Torvalds claimed that Linux âwonât be big and professional..." Given the rapid 
| global reach of Linux today it's easy to see why many believe this was the 
| biggest understatement in all of computing history.

Linux vs Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| And this is where Linux can make a big difference. There's nothing in Windows
| 7 that Linux can't do, and in most cases, do it better. Our machines are
| quicker and more efficient. Our desktops are more innovative and less static.
| Our apps are more powerful, cheaper and less partisan, and Linux security has
| never been better. But best of all, we have complete control over the future
| of Linux, and it's success or failure at the hands of Windows 7 is in our
| hands.

Seven things Windows 7 can learn from Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| 1. More frequent release cycles. As Iâve already explained, Microsoftâs worst
| enemy has been its very long release cycles. Linux distributors, on the other
| hand, have the opposite problem â too frequent release cycles. But what would
| a consumer be more interested in, an operating system thatâs eight years old
| (Windows XP) or one thatâs updated every year or even six months? Fresh
| product releases means fresh marketing and Microsoft knows this. From Windows
| 7 on itâs bye, bye many-year release cycles and hello two year cycles at the
| most.
