Want this question answered?
shell
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
Since there isn't a UNIX 95 or UNIX 98 per se, I think you are referring to Windows 95 or Windows 98..
tHE QUESTION WAS WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETEEN unix and windows 7, but i did not get the appropriate answer.
A Unix shell can be obtained in Cygwin, a Unix compatibility layer used to compile Unix programs and run them on Windows. Microsoft also makes a shell known as "Windows PowerShell" which incorporates more Unix-like features than the standard command prompt.
ms windows is byfar less stable than unix
UNIX is a command-based OS. In contrast, Windows is a menu-based OS.
There are several ways. One is to have Samba configured on the Unix system so that the Windows system has access to it. Another way is to install the lpr service for windows (most Windows servers now have that service as an installable service). 'lpr' is the Unix printing spooler which would allow you to use the lpr command in windows to print to a Unix printer.
Not really a true statement; both Windows and UNIX have multi-tasking and multi-programming capabilities.
Unix files can be easily transferred to windows via a network connection either by using FTP or by using Samba. Samba allows a Unix file system to be mounted/shared on a Windows system to look like a windows directory.
Both Windows and Unix based operating systems will continue to evolve with hardware. Currently, 64-bit architecture is becoming more common and will slowly replace 32-bit architecture. Given time, 128-bit architecture will likely replace 64-bit, and so on.
what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
