Throughout my 10+ years of using Linux, I have heard about everything that Windows does better than Linux. So I thought it time to shoot back and remind everyone of what Linux does better than Windows. Of course, being the zealot that I am, I could list far more than 10 items. But I will stick with the theme and list only what I deem to be the 10 areas where Linux not only does better than Windows but blows it out of the water.
Nokia’s little Linux-based, open-source darling has really blossomed into one fine looking platform. And, as the Maemo platform that powers Nokia Internet Tablets, like the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, again grows too big for its britches, Nokia will have to release newer versions of the Linux-based mobile platform.
It is often said that Linux and FOSS need some slick marketing. But do they? I think this is another example of wanting to copy the wrong things, like EULAs and activation keys. The popular Apple vs. PC commercials, so beloved of so many, to me are "Two Dweebs Meet." They deserve each other. Microsoft's Bill and Jerry commercials are clever and a radical departure from their traditional amazingly inept and stupid TV commercials (Lordamercy, what genius gave the OK to those pervy guys in blue butterfly suits?), but they're still advertising dung polish.
And now we’d like to turn your attention towards Mr Radoslaw Czyzewski, the IT manager from à Âeba City Hall, who is campaining for the Free and Open Software in his city for years now, and has recently deployed the OpenOffice.org suite and other open-source applications in the City and District Office.
