@Gojeg: Yeah, I missed compiz.

@Rahul: You are right, as the people using Linux will increase, then more security threats will arise..I want to bring to your notice, that this article shows the features which I miss in windows. I am not considering what others think about it. Anyway, it was good to hear your thinking and feedback. Thanks!

This seems like a very amateurish article to me. Having Firefox and Open Office built in is not really a cool feature. If I am trying to knock off an OS monopoly, the least I would want to do ship my OS with a web browser and an office suite. Open Office is many development years behind MS Office and it possibly will never even come close.
By saying that viruses are made on Linux, you’re making it sound like a criminals’ weapon of choice. And you are wrong about Linux being safe from viruses cos its free. Linux is safe because less people use it. Hence its not profitable for hackers to create malware/keyloggers etc for it. As the number of users for Linux increases, so will the security threats.

I’m an Ubuntu user myself and I don’t have much love for MS. But I really don’t see any merit in the arguments you’re giving here.

There are more features which are missing from Microsoft but they are present in LINUX.

I am a HUGE fan of Linux Operating Systems. Specially the REDHAT and Fedora project.

Thanks for this article dude…….

its quite true that the open source os usually are better protected against the viruses, i have seen lot less virus problems with linux versions,

however i think we can just pin a program to taskbar and it won’t bother us in windows too, like you mentioned in the Ubuntu, and for firefox, its a must have what every OS you use

Currently I am blogging from win XP, Linux it better in security matter but windows is flexible for blogging.Virtually I work with Ubuntu on VMware.

I read that Ubuntu is going to stop GIMP in their default package in the up coming releases. Im not a big fan of Ubuntu, I love OpenSuse though., I always feel Ubuntu is incomplete. But comparing it with Windows, its much better
