In Windows, you will NEVER have to open it. Period. Even in safe mode, even if you're fixing the computer, it doesn't matter - there are already real, visual tools to get everything it can do done the right way, right away. Basically, if Windows and Linux were games, Windows would be a real time 3D game such as the shooters and RPGs that are popular these days, and Linux would be a black screen stating YOU ARE IN A ROOM. THERE IS A CANDLE. >eat candle YOU CANNOT DO THAT. > The absolute most important difference:

MS and Linux both has GUI and CLI, so use the one you like. Both systems has differences and as due to people r different, they like different things. so test by yourself, listen to other people but without judging it by yourself don't believe it.

It was total. Then with Windows 7 I went back and to may amazement, Windows 7 had the exact same result as Julia. The exact same. Both are very secure. Of course Windows has more attackers, so the fight is not even, but I was impressed by Windows 7 being just as stealthy as Linux.

For a newbie, you have to peck and scratch to get any morsel of knowledge from the Linux community on just basic everyday use commands. Good luck. Those forums are not helpful for a newbie's problems. I tried to enter commands on Linux Mint Julia and none of the commands I had googled worked. So back to Google and back and back and back again. Finally in one post the guy talked about needing to be on the root level to make the commands work. Where is Dos when you need it? So back to google and back and back and back again, and finally found a post that said to input su, password, and then put in the commands. So I did that and typed in fdisk -l and got a list of the linux drives. That is what I had to do to just find that out. Then I downloaded Firefox 4 and linux put it in some Archive folder and would not install it. Now obviously I have to learn a whole lot more of linux language to even get that installed. How many more hours to find out how to install stuff? As I said, those forums are teases. So now the pesky problem of getting rid of Mint. Tried to fdisk the partitions and Linux would not let me. My recovery Vista dvd's would not work; linux blocked them. My bootable XP cd would not work; linux blocked it. So this is all out war. I got a nice little program that works really nicely, unlike linux. I nuked it. Linux, as feisty as it was, never had a chance. This program eliminated ALL hardware data, and I mean all. Now I was able to put Vista back on and then upgrade Windows 7. I love Windows 7. I easily downloaded and installed Firefox 4. No muss no fuss. Ease of use is where it is at for the majority of people. Bottom line, Linux has nothing to offer to displace Windows 7 unless you know unix language and can play at will in that open source playground. Most of us do not have the elite knowledge and could care less to have it. So those who love Linux, good -- you've got the best; to those who are frustrated with Linux, join the real world: MAC or Windows 7. Linux is great for those who can truly use the Terminal.
