Although PC systems based on Linux and on MS Windows have the same objectives (running software applications), their underlying philosophy is very different. Windows is entirely controlled by Microsoft, and released as a monolithic system that you either install or you dont; you buy a pack (or a PC that has a pack pre-installed), and that gives you everything you need to run your system. You even get some basic applications thrown in. The only thing you have to worry about is whether you have the latest version (and any patches). When a new version is released, you go out and buy a copy and install it on top of your existing system. This makes things very simple for the user, but you have no choice on what goes into this system: if you like it, fine; if not, tough. *

Windows has two main lines. The older flavors are referred to as Win9x and consist of Windows 95, 98, 98SE and Me. The newer flavors are referred to as NT class and consist of Windows NT3, NT4, 2000, XP and Vista. Going back in time, Windows 3.x preceded Windows 95 by a few years. And before that, there were earlier versons of Windows, but they were not popular. Microsoft no longer supports Windows NT3, NT4, all the 9x versions and of course anything older. Support for Windows 2000 is partial.The flavors of Linux are referred to as distributions (often shortened to distros). All the Linux distributions released around the same time frame will use the same kernel (the guts of the Operating System). They differ in the add-on software provided, GUI, install process, price, documentation and technical support. Both Linux and Windows come in desktop and server editions. *
