Windows 7 Vs. Linux? Which is better suited for a student with a powerful laptop?
Which Version of seven?
Also it depends what else you need to do. For word processing/msn/ Linux wil
Does it have a well made Word Processor?
A few to select from, But i like Open Office.
What exactly makes Linux as good as or maybe better than Windows?
Freedom for me. I can create destroy or remake anything, and most people don't mind.
Is it easy to use on the go?
Very. And simple once your used to it.
Edit: Also I forgot one more thing... I will be doing quite a bit of coding later on so I want to ask if anyone else has experience coding and running programs on Linux. Also does Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 work on Linux?
VB doesn't work well. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.ph...on&iId=892 But i'm sure there is an alternative.
