What are the fundamental differences between Linux and Windows these days? I can think of graphics, which is totally different, and disks/mount points which are handled differently. With Windows becoming network-ed (albeit badly), what genuine differences does that leave for the Linux community to exploit?
This is just a short list: 1. Design philosophy (Unix vs. Windows) 2. Stability 3. Ability to run on older commodity hardware 4. Rapid pace of development (new system features appear quickly in Linux) 5. Use of open protocols and standards 6.
