Comparison Report Linux versus Windows XP: The Pros and Cons This may be the perfect time to move over to Linux, since Windows XP was officially retired in 2014. Although we can continue using Windows XP, the two most important factors to consider are 1) there will no longer be security patches released by Microsoft; and 2) they are no longer supporting this product.

Windows NT is a unique and powerful operating system. It has been an entirely different operating system than Microsoft's initial Windows desktops operating systems. It was simply better and more secure ("Survey of operating Systems" pg125.) Windows NT offers you a high degree of performance and a wealth of capabilities and features. ("Windows NT 101", 1998.) NT supports two file systems: NtFS4 and FAT16. It can use up to 4 Gigabytes of RAM and also uses virtual memory. Windows NT doesn't work well
main choices of operating systems to choose from, just like in the rest of the computing world. The four options are: Windows, Linux/Unix and FreeBSD, Mac OS and Novell (webdevelopersnotes.com).

Both actually start with applications. If you have off-the-shelf applications that run only on NT Servers, and you absolutely do not want PC clients to run these
MANAGEMENT How operating system handle their process management WINDOWS 7 In windows, memory is managed by the system and metadata about processes is often stored in registry. Each process provide the resources needed execute the program. Each process start with single thread, often called primary thread but can create additional thread of its any thread.

Web servers. Linux is the most common open source system. Ubuntu Linux and Google's Chrome and Android systems are other examples of an open source system. Users have several options when choosing a closed source system. Some examples would include Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X operating systems.
