Whats the difference between 'Windows XP' and Unix as far as an ordinary home user is concerned?

Why do they say Unix is better than windows? What do they mean when they say 'its more stable'?

the above answers tut tut you have not got a clue what your talking about.. if you don't know the proper answer then don't answer questions. you give the wrong answer by doing so… my advice is do your research before answering…

Microsoft Windows any version is proprietor software that is designed by MS it will not communicate with other operating systems or software … you have to pay for MS operating systems and application software. and once you are running windows your stuck with Microsoft and all their software at a high price

on the other hand Linux and Solaris unix are free with all free application software.. it is just the same as windows, point and click but with indifferent file names it is more secure, and faster, and far superior

    Unix is the framework for the two operating systems Mac & Linux. These two operating systems are based on Unix. It is in my opinions that Unix is more stable than XP which is why most huge corporations run their servers in Linux. The problem is that Linux requires an expert user to use it. Most users are required to know some form of command line making it almost impossible for a average computer user to use the operating system. My best suggestion would be asking Mac Vs Windows. Unix itself is to broad of a question and Linux is too advanced

    I would disagree with that. For the ordinary home user, windows is better. Unix gives you control over nearly every aspect of the operating system, so you can mess things up very easily. With windows, it's more user friendly.
