Ubuntu 11.04 |
Windows 7 |
Control |
Since Ubuntu is an open source software, you can customize it as you
want..There is no limit on the level of customization because the
source code is available to use as you want (under GPL). |
it’s an proprietary software so forget about the source code and full customization. |
Cost |
it’s completely free to use and distribute! |
Not free! No way, how can you think of that ? |
Fun |
Ubuntu is complete fun! probably due to fact that there is always something new and exciting thing/stuffs try, just for Fun! |
You will get bored because there is lack of new things, so it feels like ‘got trapped in a box’. |
Learning |
Ubuntu or any other Linux based Distros is excellent from learning
point of view, specifically recommended for those who are interested in
learning about modern Operating Systems (OS) and want to understand how
it works. |
Forget about that, it doesn’t make any sense here. |
Security/Virus |
STOP!!! Ubuntu or any Linux based OS are virus free!, because it
doesn’t work on the Ubuntu platform (probably due to the reason that
most of the viruses were targeted to Windows and GNU/Linux is secure by
default) so using ubuntu means that we are entering into the Virus free
zone. |
Virus is one of the greatest threat to Windows based OS..and some
one said – Windows and Security do not appear together – in a single
sentence. |
Diversity |
There is always new things waiting to try – e.g if you don’t like
Gnome desktop, try something different such as KDE or XFCE or LMDE
etc..it’s very flexible or in other words – modular. It has some desktop
optimized for old hardwares while on the other hand you can enjoy 3D
desktop effects with your new computer and graphics Card. |
There is nothing new on this side! choose something from the Menu and go on!! |
Softwares |
A lot of free and open source software are available right there –
in the Software Center or package Manager; just select and install in
moments. Whether you are a student learning – “how to program” or a
developer (desktop based software or web Apps), Ubuntu has better
compiler (GCC, G++ etc), IDE(Eclipse, NetBeans), editors (gedit),
Terminal (Bash) and all the tools you need. For programmers the apps are
good but most common desktop applications – open office, Evolution Mail
etc. sucks! |
Some proprietary softwares are good such as – Microsoft Visual
compiler/IDE, Windows Live Writer, Microsoft word,One Note, Adobe
Photoshop etc, but you can get an equivalent open source software for
Ubuntu. E.g Gimp instead of Photoshop, Open Office in place of MS Word
etc. In short, Windows has better commonly used Applications but a lack
of programming tools and Apps. Windows Console sucks! (On the other hand
bash Terminal is far better, powerful and Fun!) |
Ease of Use |
GNU/Linux has very bad reputation if we consider this point
(probably due to the fact that initially Linux based OS were used by
only geeks who couldn’t think about non technical users), although
Ubuntu is the most simple and easy to use – Linux based distro, it is
difficult (for common desktop users) to use as compare to windows 7.
File permission, root … irritates a lot to a normal desktop user. |
Windows 7 is very simple to use! as compare to Ubuntu 11.04 or any other Linux based distro. |
Stability |
Ubuntu 11.04 or any other version of Ubuntu has very high frequency
of releasing new versions which makes it very unstable and there are
always a lot of crappy bugs waiting to fix. so it doesn’t seem -
suitable for production/personal environment, even though LTS (Long
Term Support) versions can be used in production environment. |
Windows 7 is very stable as compare to Ubuntu 11.04, so well suitable for production environment. |
Drivers Compatibility |
Ubuntu has a lot of compatibility problems when it comes to device drivers e.g Graphics Card drivers, Webcam drivers… |
All device manufacturers releases the driver software for Windows 7 so there is no compatibility issue in this case. |
Start Up Time |
Much Faster! |
Slower |
JANGAN MARAH DENGAN KOMEN NI. AKU TAK MINAT KAT WINDOWS PUN. LINUX? LAGI AKU TAK PEDULIK. YANG PENTING BOLEH JALAN KERJA. SATU KEPAYAHAN MUNCUL DARI SATU OS ATAU SOFTWARE SEPERTI PENGHIJRAHAN XP KE 7 MENYEBABKAN SEMUNYA TIDAK BERJALAN LANCAR, SEPERTI MANA LINUX HARAPKAN
ReplyDeletesebab utama orang pilih window. sebab
1 window pun banyak pirate free
2 takut benda baru
3 compatibility hardware software yang lebih penting. sapa sanggup buang hardware printer or apa saja dan tunggu driver dari linux yang kekadang berjanggut nak dapat.
4. virus? apa takut dengan virus. bela lagi bagus.
5.laju sebab tak de registry. tapi windows dengan registry boleh hack game dengan software untuk guna.
Keputusannya.. OS bukan satu masalah besar. yang utama software itu dapat dijalankan atau tidak. Linux sepatutnya mula keluarkan photo editing video editing type dengan memacam lagi free.... bukan sekadar os.
Counterstrike Linux punya pun susah nak jumpa.
CS tu boleh je jalan kat linux.

ade jugak yang kurangnya linux ni. dan die boleh jalankan program windows. cube lambat sedikit..
-kenape kita gune windows adalah kerana. di sekolah kita diajar tuk berguat demikian..laptop 1 malaysia pon gunakan windows.
Counter strike yang dia pakai tu Linux version. Bukan yang biasa. Kalau nak pakai yang biasa kena ada software lain, tapi buggy.
ReplyDeleteGuna windows sebab pirate. Sebab kita diajar gunakan yang pirate. Tu aje.
Game pirate

Tengok ajelah lagu-lagu movie semua pirate. Mana ada orang melayu turun beli CD atau kaset. KASET CERAMAH PUN PIRATE!!! paling teruk download aje!!
Kalau orang Malaysia beli ori dah lama aku jadi artis. Setakat lagu maheer zain pun nak kena free.
Tapi yang free pun susah nak maintain apa lagi yang berbayar.
