What are the advantages of Microsoft Window from other operating system?
ReplyDelete-Grencio Grencio
Hi Grencio
DeleteEveryone knows how to use it. Anyone who's had some sort of formal education will know how to use a Windows machine. In gaming the biggest advantage that Windows has over Linux is that a lot more support is given to Windows by game manufacturers and most games run best on a Windows system.
Software compatibility - Like game companies, there are other large companies that provide support only to Windows, like AutoDesk, Photoshop, Dassault, etc. Of course you can find alternatives to these softwares on Linux. But they just don't get as much support and aren't as durable and bug-free as the ones made by big companies.
