Advantages: Fast and stable.

Disadvantages: Not user-friendly.

Linus Travolds, who is the founder of Linux, claimed years ago that Linux will take over Windows, a production from Microsoft Corporation which is founded by famous Bill Gates. However until now, seems like Windows still monopoly the OS world. I believe that there are a lot of people from research studies, engineering and even business hate Windows, ironically using it for their daily work. The reasons are, Windows is frequent-crashed system, and need expensive softwares to suit the daily work such as Microsoft Office.

I am doing PhD in Software Engineering. Personally I prefer Linux to Windows because of Linux is relatively fast and robust comparing to Windows (I think lots of people have the similar opinion as I do). I am using Linux to write Java and C codes, which are really faster in compilation and runtime. However I think the main reason Linux is still left behind by Windows is because of it is not that user-friendly and not graphical advanced operating system. In fact I think Linux also admits that because the latest version of Linux such as K-developement and RedHat have the Windows-look interface.

I think if Linux really wants to knock Windows off, they must really work hard to develop more softwares for Linux especially multimedia based softwares. Well I think that takes time. All I want to say is, Windows is really not suitable (this is my personal opinion) for working on coding and programming, but Linux really is really born for development and studies.
