Distribution packages as diverse as Max OS X (which is based on Linux but relatively closed) to Ubuntu which is fully supported by the open source community are challenging the dominance of windows. Therefore, for any decision maker in an IT center and even for business professionals, understanding their differences, similarities and advantages of one over the other is an important concern. It is not only a technical or project level decision which has to be made by professionals but can also be considered a business decision.
In business terms, perhaps the most important concern is cost since that has a direct impact on the bottom line of an organization. However, it is difficult to sum up the cost of going with Windows or Linux simply as a numerical figure since the decision to choose one over the other may not be remain solely to the cost of acquiring the license. Maintenance costs, support costs, security costs and even the cost of upgrades and compatibility can figure into the equation. Further, variations of windows, i.e. 2000, XP or Vista and the numerous UNIX/Linux distribution packages, Ubuntu, Linpus, OS X etc. make it more logical to call them operating environments rather than operating systems.
The hardware requirements for both Windows and Linux appear to be more or less the same. A midlevel personal computer available on the market today could run Windows XP as efficiently as it could run Ubuntu or Linpus.
