Linux is the only OS i see that can give windows a run for its money, I think its a good time to debate on this just as the new Windows 8 OS has been released by microsoft, As a designer I found the interface quite simple and uninteresting - The standard set by apple OSX for Graphical User Interface is much superior. Another thing having said about Linux and Windows, wondering if google would ever venture into this arena they are the leaders in Mobile OS but what will happen if there is an Android OS for computers, according to me it will spread like a wild fire and there is strong chance that it would emerge supreme, but it don't see google doing that in near future.........strange but what is it thats making google reluctant to Join the OS league for computers.
