Yes. That is 100% true. Microsoft and Linux will engage in an outright war on your computer. Basically, trying to simplify the term softwar, they both have distructive viruses in their code. Unfortunately for Microsoft, Linux has the better defence system and a better virus.

How does Open Source Software brings about Innovation?
The open source movement remains a font of innovation to this day, and not just in the commercial sector. Numerous projects founded by universities, loosely knit communities, and individuals are exploring areas yet to be taken on by mainstream, proprietary software products. Here are just seven examples of exciting new ideas in software that you may be able to buy from proprietary vendors someday, but that you can only get for free from the open source community today. Proprietary software vendors, including Microsoft, would have you believe the open source movement has produced nothing but knockoffs of existing products and cast-off code that couldn't cut it in the free market. But while many open source projects, such as OpenOffice.org, do in fact represent well-established categories, to claim that open source has contributed nothing new to the software landscape is a gross exaggeration. For starters, much of the software in use on the Web today -- from the Firefox and Chrome browsers to the Apache Web Server to scripting languages such as Perl, Python, and Ruby -- began life as open source projects.
What you prefer open source software or proprietary software?

What is the difference between open source and closed source software?
commercial software is made for profit. it is maintained by a company, and it's code is a trade secret, hidden, "closed source", because you can't see it (and therefore steal it) open source software is free to use. it is created not for profit, typically maintained by a community of individuals. its code is free for everyone to look at, modify, steal, etc. sometimes you will have trouble downloading open source software - make sure you download the "windows binaries" or "windows compile" and not the source code
Is open source software freely developed and continuously improved by a large community of software developers?
Open source refers to code that is distributed outside of the manufacturer's company. Microsoft does not allow the code the programmers write for their programs outside of their company, so their code is proprietary, closed source. OpenOffice allows their code to be used by others. The reason for this is so that others can make improvements and customized enhancements. Open source is almost always free, where proprietary software has to be paid for, and is sometimes quite expensive.
What is meaning of the latest open source application software?
