It's not really more vulnerable. Windows is more widely used so it has more viruses written for it.
it depends if firewall setup correctly or not , but in general windows is more vulnerable than Linux
Linux is considered to be more secure than Windows.
You'd be safer than your computer If you danced in front of a lion that was on crystal meth...
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.
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
It is more user friendly.
No. Installing Linux is no more destructive than installing Windows.
Both Windows and Linux hosting is powerful. If you use ASP or .NET then you should use Windows hosting platform. If you do not, then you can use the more affordable and more popular Linux hosting platform.
That depends on whether you are asking whether more people use Windows or Linux or which system supports more users. The maximum number of users in a modern Linux system is 4,294,967,295. Windows doesn't have any specific limit that has been published, but each account takes up a significant amount of space, limiting the number to well below the limit in Linux. As to how many people use them, more people use Windows on their personal computers than Linux.
How the home laptop is used is the first thing to consider when choosing an operating system. Linux is free and comes with a suite of application software. Microsoft Windows costs are higher, and no application software is bundled with Windows. More games are available for Windows than for Linux.
Windows web hosting, while convenient, has several drawbacks. Microsoft charges additional licensing fees for hosting on Windows servers, and the high profile of Microsoft and Windows makes it more vulnerable to hackers than lesser-known and used systems such as Linux.
First of all, its debatable whether Windows' driver support is "better." The current Linux kernel supports more devices than any single Windows release. Linux also supports more legacy devices than Windows Vista or Windows 7 and supports numerous architectures not supported at all by Windows. Drivers in Linux are also usually considered to be more stable than the drivers supplied by the manufacturer for Windows. The reason new off-the-shelf devices may work in Windows but not in Linux is the result of a vicious cycle. Basically, some manufacturers are unwilling to expend the resources to develop Linux drivers and/or do not want to provide the documentation to do so, on the grounds that not many people use Linux. In turn, not many people use Linux because some of their devices won't work. Linux developers are more than willing to develop drivers for the device even if the manufacturer does not want to, but if the manufacturer doesn't provide at least some technical data, it is extremely difficult.
