5 REASONS WHY ONE MUST SWITCH TO LINUX

5 REASONS WHY ONE MUST SWITCH TO LINUX

As of now, it has been long time that I have been writing a good host of articles regarding open source softwares. In succession to them, here I support another open source software. The only point of consideration here is that this one is not an application software but a system software. Most of the visitors reading this article would suposedly be Windows users. But supposedly they don't know that there's something better waiting for them- Linux.

REDISTRIBUTABLE AND FREE OF COST

First and foremost, most if not all Linux-based OSs are developed under the GNU General Public License and are completely free of cost and can be download, uploaded, distributed and redistributed totally free of cost. The GNU General Public License ensures that you get all the freedoms to redefine and redistribute the source-code of the OS.

MULTIPLE MICROSOFT SERVICES RETIRE TOMORROW

Microsoft, The Multimillion Software Enterprise has decided to pull off its MSN Web messenger online chat software, asking its users to use the Messenger integrated with Live People and Hotmail. Microsoft had provided an official deadline of 30th June, 2009 (Tomorrow!) to shut down it's Web Messenger Service. The company has also planned to pull off its Microsoft Money and Encarta on the same date.

Microsoft came up with this decision in order to streamline its investment on updates and to realign its services under one brand. Microsoft says that its main advantage lies in the fact that it lets you know if a person is online or not, so that you decide whether to send him/her a message or make a direct chat. Now how innovative is this idea? Google and Yahoo! have been doing this since generations. And that's what they call innovation- Same as they did with the multi-touch feature introduced in Windows 7. :P

Will the world like this change in Microsoft's strategy?
