Windows is better for desktop computers. Linux is better for servers.
Linux
what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
There is no such thing as "Windows Linux." Linux is not a version of Windows and has nothing at all to do with Windows. They are two totally completely different operating systems made by completely different people.
Linux is better than Windows for servers because it is more stable and more secure which are two important reasons why it is better for your server and why you can trust it more.
To do or not do. There is no try. Windows always tries and sometimes does. It is better to just do.
For hosting a Wordpress blog? Linux, easily. Linux just plain does servers better than Windows. For writing to one? It really doesn't matter. All that's relevant is the web browser, here.
In my personal opinion, No, a Linux server is the better answer for the web. I would recommend a windows server only when running asp/.net, and with the introduction of mono (an apache module), Linux machines can run .net (although I've never used this, myself, and it is in its infancy). Linux, in general, has much better thread and memory handling than Windows. In a multi-threaded web server, it should serve you better. Remember, that things like this are always a personal preference type of thing, and the debate between Windows and Linux is fierce. My advice would be to look up benchmarking information for Windows web servers and Linux web servers, and see which would suit your needs.
It all depends on what you want to do with your computer.
It is more user friendly.
You can set up file sharing between windows 7 and Linux mint 16 by simply installing the Ext2 Installable File System on windows which allow windows to read and write into the Linux file system.
with linux you dont have toworriesabout you cp slowing down or malware or viraseus but if you a hard core gammer windows 7 is better and most programs or applications are not compatble with linux
There isn't a right answer for this question. Linux, Windows and mac are all different. It's just what you want to do with your computer.
