Linux versus Microsoft

U may feel that java is very strong and easy to use compared to C or C#. but u need to know one thing that from the past 40 years C has been ruling the world. There is no replacement for C. Not even Java is fit to compete with C. Such powerfull is C. Thanks to Dennis richte and ken thompson

I'm affraid to convert to LINUX, i know nothing about it... And most my job in my current knowledge needs Windows to handle them...I program using Delphi, I know there's Kylix but I'm affraid wasting my energy learning new stuff and at the end I don't find a good market for my new learned skill..

that's very cool!! i haven't explored linux programming to that extent but i'm very much interested... for no i'm stuck with C# because my job requires it, but I prefer Java!! rock on!!!

nothing to worry my friend, and also no worries about getting softwares for linux. lots of softwares are available now for linux. so switch over linux and reap its advantages.

Well if you are talking about things like Open Office instead of Microsoft Office, that's not really going to convince me. I used to use Open Office and I really didn't like it at all. I also tried Gimp for awhile instead of Photoshop and I didn't like that software either. As I said when I get around to it, I will try to set up a duel boot option so I can try linux before I give up windows, but I doubt it's going to happen any time soon. I think linux is more popular with people who are good at computer programming because they can easily customize their computer experience with linux. I'm no good with computer programming though. The only coding I'm good with is html.

I think one of the main problems is that people get used to how certain software is laid out(Ms Office,Photoshop) and they find that they do not want to have to re-learn new software.
