Between the two one has to die.

The death one will have a Live CD stabed into its heart.

I am talking functionaality here.

Here is a Live CD, no need to install, full-featured operating system, no need to occupy the MBR, no had disk installation, can clone or backup any system, best PC utility you can get, cost nothing and still being improved on all the time.

You only know which system is bettter when there is comparison.

I still think Windows is better for the average desktop user. I still don't think they have made using the Linux desktop easiest enough for the dumb user. If my mom can't figure out how to install a program on it, then it isn't easy enough yet. And my mom is pretty good with windows and does some dhtml coding on the side.

But for servers, I think Linux or netware is the best.

My apologies. I just find alot of people don't bother to search for anything before they post. Many times I wont post a link to a program I recommend because I know they can just google search for it and they will find it instantly. Alot of times there next respsonse will be "Where can I find that program." So I usually just post a link to a Google search.
