I personally will only favor linux as windows alternative.
Hey Isha,
Thanks for the information.I believe for laymen,Windows is the best whereas for develops Linux is the choice to follow.
Alternative to windows…. actually Lynux, Apple, Chrome anything will do since I hate Microsoft software they have tons of bugs!
The Ubuntu flavour of Linux is really looking good now. I was playing around with it the other evening on a friends PC and would seriously consider switching once my current PC kicks the bucket. No more Windows for me!
nice share Isha, me interested in Linux also.
For me, the only alternative I can think is Linux, though I would hardly switch from Windows. Thanks for your insight on the topic. 🙂
This is indeed an alternative but I hope it can stay longer.
nice sharing
Thank you for sharing a big free alternative software.
