Comparison between Wintel and Unix Wintel Unix Price Microsoft Windows can cost a The majority of Linux variants considerable amount per each are available for free or at a licensed copy. much lower price than Microsoft Windows. Ease of Use Microsoft has made several Although the majority Linux advancements and changes that variants have improved have made it a much easier to dramatically in ease of use operating system, and use, Windows is still much although arguably it may not be easier to use for new computer the easiest operating system, it is users. still Easier than Linux. Microsoft Windows is not open Many of the Linux variants and Open source source and the majority of many Linux programs are open Windows programs are not open source and enable users to source. customize or modify the code however they wish to.
Comparison between Wintel and Unix(cont…) Wintel Unix Reliability Although Microsoft Windows has The majority of Linux variants made great improvements in and versions are notoriously reliability over the last few reliable and can often run for versions of Windows, it still months and years without cannot match the reliability of needing to be rebooted. Linux. Software Because of the large amount of Linux has a large variety of Microsoft Windows users, there is available software programs and a much larger selection of utilities. However, Windows has available software programs, a much larger selection of utilities, and games for Windows. available software.

Even such complex considerable programs such as Gimp, Open Office, Star Office, and wine are available for free or at a low cost. Hardware Because of the amount of Linux companies and hardware Microsoft Windows users and manufacturers have made great the broader driver support, advancements in hardware support Windows has a much larger for Linux and today Linux will support for hardware devices support most hardware devices. and a good majority of hardware However, many companies still do manufacturers will support their not offer drivers or support for products in Microsoft Windows. their hardware in Linux.
