What is cheaper windows operating system or Linux?

This is often highly debated by IT experts. In terms of licensing only, Linux is much less expensive than Windows: Linux is free of cost as the GPL is a license applied to distribution only. Where it gets fuzzy is in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), some argue Linux is more "expensive" because of training and hardware support, though others argue that for normal users who need to use a few applications those TCO factors are not relevant. In my opinion Windows is much more expensive.

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.
