What else can I help you with?
Can Linux do everything Windows can?
Yes, although they are not always done in the same way, and one may be better at one thing than the other.
Is there a way to build a Windows 7 ready computer that would be cheaper than a Linux ready machine?
No. Any machine that is capable of running Windows 7 is equally capable of running Linux; thus virtually every computer is "Linux ready." Depending on your specific needs, Linux can be run on far less powerful and cheaper hardware than Windows 7 can.
Can you use a Windows boot loader to load the Linux operating system?
Yes you can. Ubuntu's WUBI uses the Windows bootloader (NTLDR) to boot Linux. It also uses the Windows filesystem (NTFS). This, however, is not the traditional way to do things. The traditional way to dual-boot Linux and Windows is to use a generic bootloader such as Grub to boot both Windows and Linux.
Is PHP better on Windows or Linux?
PHP with Linux is completely different, since everything is free (Linux, Apache, Mysql, FileZila, PHP, etc.). Linux is also way more stable for production use, since it's regularly updated (at least once a months, for certain distribution). Remember, the Internet runs on Linux, mostly CentOS and RedHat.However, windows is way more compatible with everyday applications. The best would be to have a development computer running Linux (buy an old, use computer, install Linux on it), and have an everyday Windows computer.
What do you think of windows 8.1?
Windows 8.1 is a lot way better than the windows 7 and windows 8.0.
What are the similarities and differences between the way in which Windows and Linux manage processes?
Linux allows full access to the source code. Windows does not. The command line has always proven useful when altering software. Windows differs from Linux in command line limitations as well. Linux provides a centralized location in which software and application can be controlled.
How well does windows run on a Mac?
Windows runs extremely well on an Intel Mac, identically to, or better than, the way it runs on a similarly configured PC.
How do you modify Linux to meet the standards of Windows?
They are two completely different platforms. You can get close to in appearance of any Windows release given you have the appropriate fonts and themes, but it will never work the same way as if you did in a native Windows installation. Conversely, if you dress up Windows to look like certain Linux desktops, it will never reach the full functionality of Linux.

Why do Linux programs not run in Windows?
The 2 operating systems are different from each other. Linux programs aren't meant to work in Windows most of the time. If you want to run Linux programs in Windows, install cygwin, and compile them from source code.
Is Linux hardware?
No, Linux is simply the operating system running on the hardware, much in the same way that you could run Windows or another OS on the same hardware.
What does webcam and sound support for various hardware under linux look like compared to windows?
Linux has broad support for numerous sound cards and web cams. Relatively few are unsupported. In addition, some devices that were not originally intended to be used with either system, such as the PlayStation Eye, were supported on Linux first. When compared to any single version of Windows, Linux as a whole has far better device support, because Windows often drops support for legacy technologies, and if a manufacturer stops supporting a device, there won't be any drivers for newer versions of Windows. In contrast, the Linux kernel seldom discontinues support for any device and thus they can be used for as long as there is a way to interface them with your computer. If you have a PCI sound card from 1998, say a Creative Live! SoundBlaster 5.1, you can use the device just fine in Linux, but not in Windows Vista or Windows 7.
