I need to know about all the differences between windows and kde.

It is much easier to fine tune kde.\nYou can have multiple virtual screens. Handy when you are doing seperate things at the same time, and for controlling the clutter.\n\nKde's file browser is a lot smarter the windows explorer and far more flexible.\n\nOtherwise they are similiar enough that of you know one you can learnr the other with no real effort. They both have start things, task bars, and so on that you would easily recognize.

Most computer users use the Windows operating system. But in today’s scenario where open source software has started playing a major role in bringing out Linux based distributions, many experienced computer users are either moving to Linux or would like the option.\n\nFor years, Linux supporters have touted the open-source operating system as a less-expensive, more reliable alternative to Unix and Windows running on x86 based, or industry-standard servers.\n\nA thorough change is taking place, resulting in more and more usage of Open source software.  Most importantly, this beneficial change is happening in significant numbers through out the world.\n\nWHY SWITCH OVER? \n\nThe switch over is mainly because of the following two reasons:\nCost savings\nFreedom from licensing dominance\n\nDue to these reasons, more and more companies today are migrating to Linux from other Operating Systems than ever before.\n\nPROS:\nLinux Is Free\nLinux Is Portable To Any Hardware Platform\nLinux Was Made To Keep On Running\nLinux Is Scalable\n\nMAJOR DIFFERENCES:\n\nLinux: Linux is free\nWindows: MS Windows costs money\n\nLinux: In this case people are unlikely to violate any License agreement, all the software is happily yours\nWindows: In this case people likely already violate all kinds of licenses\n\nLinux: Linux is built for more sophisticated, feature hungry computer users\nWindows: MS Windows tries to be the "lowest-common-denominator" operating system\n\nLinux: Linux is based on UNIX \nWindows: Windows is based on DOS\n\nLinux: Linux GUI is based on industry-standard X Windows\nWindows: Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) is based on Microsoft-own specifications\n\nLinux: Linux beats Windows hands down on network features, and as a development platform\nWindows: MS Windows desktop has a more polished appearance

i guess this is the question everybody wants to know.\nthere are few things you need to do \n\n1) use strong antivirus, antispy ware\n2) do regular windows update\n3) don't download crap from net. if you download anything don't forget to scan it before open that file or any exe\n4) do regular disk cleanup and disk diffregment.\n5) keep only necessary software on ur system, stay away from free games to avoid spamming or adward.\n\nfollow the stapes and you might get fast performance with ur system.\n\nplease let me know if you have any further question.

both systems are almost identical in capability. XP is newer, so it has a longer support time left. Win2000 will probably not be updated with security patches beyond 2007, while XP will give you another year.\n\ni run WinXP on an AMD K7 600MHz, 256MB RAM, with no problems.

Go with sp2.  The different packages reflect the fact that microsoft found bugs in the operating system and came out with sp1 and 2 in order to correct them.

nothing...except price and the product key. also i dont think you get help/support from microsoft when using a oem version. other than that there is no difference. updating is the same, features are the same. i would definitely get the oem version. in order to get an oem version you usually need to buy some hardware from the store. some stores consider a cable or a fan acceptable hardware to get an oem copy of windows.

If u r looking got user friendly stick to windows. If u dont have a thorough knowledge of computers u will lost using Linux.

My opinion on each version:\n\nWin95\npros: the most fastest version when boot up, for sure.\ncons: the most "uncomplete" Windows overall. Even the newest DirectX title doesn't support it anymore.\n\nWin98\npros: the most popular version because of it's huge improved user interface and accessibility than Win95.\ncons: the most unstable version when it comes to handle the memory, even worse than Win95. In Win98, after you run so many program and closes it, Win98 can't release it properly, leaving the system slower and slower over time if you don't restart it.\n\nWinNT\npros: specially made for server job. has a better memory handling than Win98.\ncons: still it's just a replicant of Win98. even worse, many new games won't run on it.\n\nWinME\npros: well... I don't really sure because I haven't used this yet, but from the thing I heard, the pros it... nothing.\ncons: another unstable version of Windows. Why? Because it's the first version of Windows that doesn't run "in top of DOS", but has it's "own" OS.\n\nWin2k\npros: another NT version of Windows, which means it prior in terms of stable. the task manager is also improved and much more powerful than before. That's why this version of windows started to stable, because everytime there is a program crash or not responding, nearly 100% can be shutted down by the Task Manager.\ncons: it takes AGES to install, to boot up, and to sign in. Thank God it doesn't take ages to shutdown... on it's earlier version, it does suffer from the same error as WinNT: can't run many new games. You must install service pack 3 or 4 in order to get the full advantage.\n\nWinXP\npros: the most stable version of Windows, when compared to the previous. it also has a nice new brand looking theme. also, it doesn't take ages now to boot up (on fresh install, it's only takes 1 - 2 bar loading, like 2 - 3 seconds).\ncons: requires much larger memory than it's predecessor, like min 128 MB...\n\nWin2k3\npros: has the NT property - which means the stable and the security, and has the XP look. So this one is slightly better than XP. Now it's even harder to attack server which runs with Win2k3.\ncons: but it also takes more time to boot up, which means it can't run program as fast as XP. But the difference won't be noticed on a fast processor. also requires more memory min 256 MB.\n\nWinVI [Windows Vista]\npros: this version of windows hasn't come out yet. But it looks like that this WinVI is going to succeeded WinXP, not WinNT. So in short, WinVI is targetted as home entertainment use, not for server like Win2k3. the MS claims that WinVI will respond ever better, so that will overrun WinXP. Also, WinVI will have a brand new look, a purplish rather violet color.\ncons: the system requirement here is also a lot much more. now, it's not only processor requirement here, but it's also graphical requirement here, if you want to take the best of WinVI's user interface out to your desktop monitor. it does give the chills... isn't it...\n\nso technically, if you ask me the best Windows version ever in terms of user interface, it's the WinVI. In terms of security, it's the Win2k3 and WinVI is in even (the Microsoft Anti Spyware is built-in for WinVI). But in OVERALL, I think the winner still be hold by WinXP because I can't imagine how expensive your computer will be if you're using WinVI... and I'm just afraid that WinVI run very slow, or even can't run on slow machines, while the WinXP can.

It is most absolutely worth the price - what other operating system supports as much hardware and software as Windows? It's a bargain.  As for piracy, it has been reduced significantly in the latest versions; people can't download updates now unless the Genuine Advantage tool verifies the OS is legitimate.  As for Linux, it works ok for certain applications, but it isn't as flexible and easy to use for a mass audience as Windows is.  Also, try getting support for Linux - I have used it for a long time for a couple of specific server applications and if I have ever had an issue with it, the Linux community has been very hostile about providing support; many of them have an elitist attitude.  And people think Windows is buggy?  Linux has tons of security holes, driver issues, software that won't run without days of tweaking.  I speak from experience.

I don't want to ramble on.... lets just say that Ubuntu is the coolest thing since sliced cheese.\n\nI run a design/computer firm so I am sorta stuck with windows until Codeweavers gets Crossover Office running photoshop cs2 on linux.(You will learn about running windows applications on linux shortly)\n\nHowever, NO MORE SUCKING ON THE TEET THAT IS MICROSOFT for us. I use ubuntu for everything else. \n\nIt took me approximately 10 hours to sort out what I was doing to port my entire office over(except for color management and printing stuff).  Two Ubuntu builds later, I am making insane money porting peoples offices from windows to linux.\n\nYou will have absolutely no problems intalling ubuntu or using it and you will never turn back...\n\nNo more hard locks, no more blue screens, no more poop...\n\nEdit: As a matter of fact we will provide instruction if you get stuck and will help you for free!\n\n\nhope that helps, freedom is just around the corner!

Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 2005 have no difference, just this that VS2005 is the latest version in the series of VS.NET\n\nin common practice VS.NET has come to be synonymous to VS.NET 2003 edition so VS2005 is the next generation VS supporting both .NET application programming (over the new .NET 2.0 framework), also supports legacy C++ coding (i mean without the use of .NET components, that can then be compiled to native executables.) and also supports coding for the coming up Windows Vista OS platform using the next generation .NET platform called WinFX\n\nso you can say VS2005 is a superset of VS.NET 2003\n\nHope this will clear all your ambuigities.
