Yes. Documents are platform agnostic; as long as you have a program on Windows to open the document, there should be no problems.
There are actually 5 major computer families. These include Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, Windows 2000, as well as Linux.
The three main types of Computer are Desktop, Laptop, Netbook, Tablet and Server. To go more in depth you can then say Desktop, Laptop, Netbook, Tablet, iMac, Macbook, Macbook Pro, iPad and Servers Hope this covers your question!
Windows is better for desktop computers. Linux is better for servers.
The operating system included with this Netbook is HP Mobile Internet, which is built on Linux. So, yes, this Netbook is compatible with Linux.
Windows, MacOS, and Linux are the most common.
In Windows, the default installation drive letter is C:, and the desktop folder will be in C:\Users\\Desktop\ (Windows Vista and newer) or C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop\ (Windows XP), and for GNU/Linux distributions, /home//Desktop/(or simply ~/Desktop/ for any user that's logged in, will be directed to their own desktop folder)
Different operating systems have differing features, though they all have the primary function of controlling the software and programs running on a computer or other device. Popular features include: A start menu or application menu (Windows, Linux) Multiple desktop workspaces (Linux, Mac OS X) Taskbar (Windows, Linux) or dock (Mac OS X, also Linux) to track favorite program shortcuts and active applications A desktop environment. Linux has GNOME or KDE (and a few others), Mac has Aqua, and Windows Vista has Aero. Desktop acceleration (Mac OS X, Linux using Compiz or similar, and Windows Vista Premium, Business, or Ultimate)
No. There is no single user interface for Linux. GNOME. KDE, Xfce, Fluxbox, and CDE are all examples of user interfaces / desktop environments for Linux.
Linux already is a serious competitor to Windows, especially in markets outside of the desktop. Linux fully dominates over Windows on servers, mobile, routers, embedded, and supercomputing markets. Some are even believing Linux is fast becoming the industry standard operating system in these markets because of how readily it can be made to work. On the desktop, Linux is alsoa threat to Windows market share, by Microsoft's own admission. Look up the Halloween Documents, which are a series of leaked memos by someone high up in Microsoft addressing Linux as Microsoft's largest credible threat.
That's not really possible to predict based on current data. While Linux usage is increasing, it is not at a rate that directly affects Windows' market share.

I personally use Windows XP at work, Windows 7 on my desktop, and Windows 8 on my laptop. My primary operating system, however, is Linux. On my desktop I'll run Debian Testing 95% of the time with Windows maybe 5%. My laptop runs on Arch.
