OS Combat - Ubuntu Linux Versus Vista

An anonymous reader writes "InformationWeek pits Ubuntu Linux versus Windows Vista in a detailed comparison. They run down a number of points for this comparison, including installation, hardware support, software, and backup. For IW, backup was a crucial feature. As a result, the conclusion are unusual for this type of review because it straddles the fence. The verdict is: 'a tie, but only because both platforms fall short in some ways. Vista's roster of backup features aren't available in every SKU of the product; Ubuntu doesn't have anything like Vista's shadow copy system and its user-friendly backup tools are pretty rudimentary.'"

  1. There's nothing to compare by zukinux · · Score: 0, Troll

    As long as Microsoft operating systems got nothing compared to BASH, Linux > Windows.

    and no, you can't work with cmd like you work with Bash, and I'm an advanced batch scripter, Bash is just much better and much user friendlier.
    There are many other things that makes Linux better then windows (any version), but I will let Microsoft answer the Bash thingy and then I will write some new problems to them why Linux is much much better :)
