All hype aside, it is very clear that Linux is recognized as a major operating system by data center administrators as well as CIOs. Linux is no longer of interest only to hackers and the open-source community. Today there are more web servers running on Linux than on any other operating system. Major organizations are deploying Linux in their data centers. According to a study done recently, more than 75% of the fortune 500 companies have already deployed Linux or are considering to do so in near future.
This obviously depends what platform your writing your program for, if it's for Linux/BSD/Solaris etc, use Linux. If it's for Windows guess what you use? Windows (Except in some cases using Linux is okay). If it's for... you get the point. Personally, I use Linux.
Yes, I think that Linux is safer. You should use Ubuntu for gaming/programming and Kali Linux for hacking/penetration testing.
Based on its sheer configurability, a modern Linux kernel takes the cake by far. it is still possible to use a modern kernel with a basic userland in 4 MB of RAM.
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.
Yes
Linux is not illegal. Linux is a free, public license software modeled on Unix.
Most people still don't know what Linux is, so it'd be difficult to say that it is "famous." Linux has grown in notoriety due mainly to the open nature that it is developed under. Anyone can contribute code towards Linux, and anyone can use Linux in their own projects, as long as they obey the terms of the license.
There are several different tax software compatible with Linux. You can use Tax Act. Is another software that people use when the Linux is not available.
Over 400 million. More precisely I mean 90% of the public use windows and the rest consist of Linux and mac.
Some people refers to Linux-based systems as "GNU/Linux" if they use software written fr the GNU operating system.
LinuxOne is a server. So people who are running huge corporate networks use them.
No, it is unix-based but Linux is a kernel not an operating system.Ubuntu,Linux Mint,Debian,and puppy Linux,ect. are OS's that use the Linux kernel.
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.

Dice.com which is located in Wichita, Kansas are currently hiring people that are certificated in Linux.
Because only 4% of people use OSX, so no one bothers to attack it. Even less people use Linux, and it is super secure.
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.
