Why is Windows more prone to viruses than Linux?

It is widely believed that the reason Windows is so prone to viruses is due to its popularity on the desktop, as Windows powers approximately 87% of the world's desktop computers. While this is true, there is actually much more to it than that, and it really has to do with the basic architecture of the operating system itself.

Windows, as well as DOS before it, was designed to be a single-user operating system. This means that the operating system is designed to let the user have free reign over the entire system. However, the system has no way to tell who's doing what on the system, and no means of enforcing who can do what. As such, virus-laden code can all too easily sneak in via the Internet without your knowledge or permission.

Some versions of Windows, such as Windows NT, 2000, XP Professional, Server 2003, Server 2008, and Vista, have multiple user logins. However, Microsoft chose to preserve compatibility with programs designed for other versions of Windows, such as Windows 95, 98, or XP Home Edition, because those programs were used to having the whole computer all to themselves. As such, they had to do some fancy hacks to pull all that off, and in the process, they still left even Server 2003 and Server 2008 full of holes for hackers to exploit.

Apple's Mac OSX and Linux do not suffer from this problem. This is because they are designed from the ground up with security in mind, whereas Microsoft Windows was created for convenience with security being little more than an afterthought. Mac OSX and Linux both use a filesystem that has a strictly-enforced set of permissions that are attached to every file and folder in the system, and they spell out specifically who is allowed to do what with each file or folder.

In Windows, for a virus to infect your system, it first has to install itself onto your system. As previously stated, it's very common for viruses to do this without your knowledge or permission. But with Mac OSX or Linux, you have to have administrative privileges in order to install or uninstall a program. On Mac OSX or some Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, all you do to install or uninstall a program is enter your password when prompted to do so before you will be allowed to proceed (quite a few other Linux distributions have you enter a root password instead, requiring you to remember two passwords, one for yourself, and the other for the all-powerful root account). If, in the case of Mac OSX or Ubuntu, you don't have administrative privileges, or in the case of other distros, you don't know the root password, you simply can't do it. And that's a good deal of why Mac OSX and Linux are way more secure than Windows -- because viruses simply don't have the authorization to do install themselves behind your back with Mac OSX or Linux.

How is Linux better than other operating system?

Well linux is free so you never have to pay when a new versions comes out, its also faster and less hardware demanding for an example i installed puppy linux on a old windows ME machine and puppy linux only used 68mb of ram and 87mb of ram when i used skype and web browser, and was able to do everything id normally do on newer hardware.
