see i dont know whats the purpose of your work !
but before choosing just have look below !!
Microsoft Windows and Linux are two major competing computer operating systems. Windows is the most prominent proprietary (shared source) operating system and Linux is the most prominent free software and open source operating system. The two operating systems compete for user base in the personal computer market as well as the server market. Both operating systems are used in government offices, schools, business offices, homes, supercomputers, intranet and internet servers, and more.
Historically, Windows has tended to dominate in the desktop and personal computer markets (about 89.2% of the desktop market share), and Linux has achieved between 50 - 80% market share of the server, hosting, render farm, and supercomputer markets.[1]. They differ in philosophy, cost, ease of use, versatility, and stability, with each seeking to improve in their respective perceived weak areas.
Typically, some major areas of perceived differences regularly cited have included the poor ease of "out of box" mass market use for Linux, and poor system stability for Windows, both of which are areas of rapid development in the two camps. Perceived strengths have been low cost and high degree of openness and configurability for Linux and the standardization and careful anticipation of mass-market user requirements for Windows. Comparisons of the two tend to reflect the respective origins, historic user base and distribution model of each.
and to get into more details just have look
