Price: It easily costs over a hundred dollars.Īpple's Macintosh OS is even older than Windows. Slow: Windows, especially Vista and 7, requires a lot of computer resources (memory, processor, disk space), and thus, runs slower. Viruses: You may need to buy an antivirus program, although free ones exist. Huge quantity of function: When you get to know Windows well, you'll find out that there are so many functions that you can do almost anything quite easily. Technical support: Having so many users, you can always find someone (either online or offline) who can help you with Windows. Yet, it has it's flaws.Ĭompatibility: Almost every application, driver or game will work on Windows. Windows, having been introduced in 1985, is a very mature and complete piece of software. It's in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, as well as home computers. With almost 90% of the operating system market share, you can't miss Windows. Let's start with the most popular: Windows Difference Between Linux VS Window VS Unix VS Mac Side note: For commercial access control solutions, check out products such as CA Access Control, BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker, and Centrify's DirectAuthorize. Conversely, Microsoft is fighting an uphill battle to train and, to some extent, restrain Windows users from using accounts that are far too powerful, while Linux users almost always are given least-privileged accounts from the start. Windows users use file-level ACLs by habit, which is a good thing, while Linux users continue to use an outdated owner-group-world permission model that is outdated, even when ACL support exists on the very same Linux system. To me, the real difference between Windows and Linux access control is more about the mindset of users than the technology. On a technological front, I would compare UAC with sudo. While an absolutely pain in Vista, it’s certainly livable in Windows 7 (I know, since I type this on my Windows 7 laptop).
Windows User Access Control (UAC) was designed specifically to address the problem of Windows users and applications being given too much power out-of-the-box. In fact, tools such as su are so frequently used, and have such a long history, that most Linux users assume they won’t have administrator privileges, while Windows users (and applications) often assume the opposite.
Su is not a very granular delegation tool, but sudo is, and both are almost always available on Linux and UNIX systems. The Linux world has always relied heavily on the su and sudo tools to delegate authority. If process-level security, then certainly not.
