I am not sure why even in 2014 we have to pit Linux against Windows. We have surely grown out of that sort of debate.
Microsoft successfully achieved its objective of putting a computer in every home with the help of Windows. We should thank them for that. Linux on other hand has grown leaps and bounds. Android after all is a linux kernel fork. I think as technology lovers we can surely love both and look at them as technologies complimenting each other rather than competing.

I think it's unfair to frame any linux/windows debate as fundamentally childish. There are big differences between them, both philosophical and practical, in ways that have real impacts on the users.
- tn13 12y agoI never said there are no differences but those differences are more like between a Business Suite and Bikini rather than Republican Party v/s Democratic Party. Two different OSs which have a different view of the world and catering to different needs in different ways rather than something where their success is a zero sum game between them.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoIf you want to decide what OS to use, you need criteria by which to make that decision.
- Havvy 12y agoSure, but there's no reason for a Windows enhancement to be framed as a Linux vs. Windows thing, except as antagonistic clickbait. As somebody who uses both Windows and Linux, I'm not sad that Windows is becoming more usable. I'm happy - it's one less thing to complain about using Windows.
