Linux vs. Windows

Smartweb · Post by **Smartweb** » April 10th, 2004, 8:17 pm

The following statistics are from the google search engine:

Keywords: Microsoft Sucks
Results: 426,000

Keywords: Linux Sucks
Results: 478,000

Keywords: Windows is better than Linux
Results: 2,500,000

Keywords: Linux is better than Windows
Results: 2,510,000

Keywords: Linux Rules
Results: 3,000,000

Keywords: Windows Rules*
Results: 5,170,000

Keywords: Linux
Results: 96,500,000

Keywords: Windows
Results: 114,000,000

Disregarding the third pair (see footnote below), internet users are split on which is better; but if you take into consideration the fourth pair, Linux is better because google has more pages with windows content.

*Most results for this query were negative towards Microsoft, such as that piece of @#*&^ Microsoft rules the computer industry and we have to do something about it.

yes, but to access ftp servers that run in pasv mode, you need windows or wine

Looks like a very close finish to me between which one is better.
