MEPIS, or any other Linux distribution, is not directly compatible with Windows. Most files, like documents, movies, and music, can be used and enjoyed on MEPIS. MEPIS cannot natively support Windows programs. Wine, an application layer, can be used to run about 70% of Windows programs. MEPIS is not compatible with Windows drivers, though it has a program known as "ndiswrapper" to make a wireless card work with a Windows driver if Linux doesn't have one.

Why is Linux said to be a virus-free operating system?

Ya Linux is virus free OS, How?? Answer: Linux OS Extracted files and folders are kept hidden which cannot be accessed by viruses. Now what are Viruses?? Viruses are the files which carry the path-name of the WINDOWS FOLDER present in Windows OS where all the functional .(DOT)dll files are stored. Once these .dll files get corrupted then the PC starts behaving like a mad bull. So, these .dll kind (not the same format files) of files are also their in Linux OS but they are kept hidden, as a result the virus path cannot find them. Thus, no damage but still the files stored by the user on a Linux machine get corrupted.
