Windows Versus Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| My home Ubuntu machine is also set up to 
| periodically check for updates to all the 
| installed software. It works as easily as 
| automatic updates in Windows.
| One of the things I am amazed about for the 
| above software is that all the Linux software 
| is free and open-source. I see very little 
| difference in performance from a userâs 
| perspective, and using free open-source 
| software has saved me several thousand Patacas 
| by not having to pay software licensing fees.
| I am convinced that Ubuntu is a viable 
| alternative for most work computers and can 
| save businesses and other organizations 
| considerable amounts of money. I also believe 
| that it is an excellent alternative for 
| children and parents for home computers.

All Windows applications (almost all) run on GNU/Linux too, but not
vice versa.

Another Look at Wine for Running Windows Apps

| In my dressing down of Wine, I noted that
| users are unlikely to find Wine mentioned in
| their ISV's support matrices, but, as I
| learned, two of the most frequently-
| recommended MySQL query tools I encountered,
| PremiumSoft's Navicat Lite and the open source
| HeidiSQL, owe their Linux support to none
| other than the Wine project.
