Can Linux really be compared to windows ? I feel Linux and windows are two different dimensions may be with some common features in particular fields.

@Glass Beads, Yes, i use Linux. I have bot Windows and Linux on my workstation.
Linux is a really smooth OS. You can fully customize it, tweak it and redesign it to your needs both in matters of speed and looks. And you do not need to be a geek to use linux. It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and you get tutorials and help for everything. Ubuntu forums is one great place for troubleshooting help. Feel free to ask if you want to switch over to linux.

@Andrew, Compiz is pretty much a window manager.
Gnome and KDE are actually desktop environments, consisting of a window manager and much more.
The window manager runs inside the desktop environment, just like we have DWM running inside the windows envitonment for windows7.

Compiz is not a window manager. Gnome, KDE and so on are window managers…
