Linux is much more stable than Windows. Linux is known to run for years without even a reboot, much less reinstallation. Windows, on the other hand, always degrades over time, even WITHOUT malware infections. The Blue Screen of Death (or the equivalent) becomes more and more frequent over time, and Windows becomes slower and slower. Eventually, Windows becomes unbootable and requires reinstallation.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px;">
Linux is much safer from viruses and other malware. One reason is the need for special authorization to change the system in Linux, which malware doesn't have. (This is where root comes in.) Another reason is the open source nature of Linux. Because the source code is public information, more people are available to work on Linux than is the case for proprietary operating systems like Windows. Because there are so many more developers of Linux, any bugs and security issues are resolved MUCH, MUCH sooner than is the case with Windows. As a Linux user, you can say good-bye to buying expensive, RAM-eating anti-malware software. More importantly, say good-bye to opportunities to unwittingly host a spam mail server or to let your credit card numbers and passwords fall into the wrong hands.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px;">
Installing software is more convenient AND safer in Linux. Each Linux distro has a centralized repository containing as many as tens of thousands of FREE software packages and a system that allows you to download AND install it automatically and safely. You don't even need to reboot to use the software. With Windows, you may have to go to a store or wait for it to arrive by mail/UPS/FedEx. Then you have to install it manually and then reboot. While there is freeware for Windows, you have to search the web for it, and some of those programs have malware, so you're taking a risk.</div>

Linux saves money in so many ways. Linux is free, but Windows is expensive. If you acquired Windows by purchasing a computer, you paid for Windows indirectly, as the vendor or manufacturer charged a higher price in order to cover the cost of production. Linux saves money not only on your operating system and software but on hardware as well. The latest version of any Linux distro will work on a 5-year-old computer, and some will even work on a 10-year-old computer. You do NOT need to replace your computer every 2 to 3 years as the computer industry wants you to. Then there are the hidden costs of the instability and insecurity of Windows. Of course, you can see why the computer industry wants you to use Windows.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px;">
Relying on Windows makes you dependent on Microsoft, a corporation with too much money and power. This allows Microsoft to decide for you when it's time for you to buy a new operating system, new software, and a new computer. What would you do if Microsoft decides to kill support for your Windows OS and triples the price of its current OS? What would you do if Microsoft disappeared? On the other hand, Linux doesn't lock you in as Microsoft does. Even if the individuals behind a particular open source project quit, the public source code allows new people to resume the project. If the people behind your favorite Linux distro make changes that you don't like, you are free to migrate to another distro. The process of migrating from one Linux distro to another is even easier than the process of migrating from Windows to Linux.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px;">
Linux is much more convenient to install. Many Linux distros can be installed on your computer in just a few minutes and INCLUDE a variety of useful software for word processing, spreadsheets, web browsing, email, multimedia, and more. On the other hand, it takes at least an hour to install Windows, which is very spartan out-of-the-box. Then you have to manually install drivers and software for your applications.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white;">
Better for the Environment</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 17px;">
Linux allows you to keep your old computer running longer. This means less toxic electronic waste, which all too often ends up in the landfills of Third World countries with inferior, unenforced, or nonexistent environmental laws. Fewer purchases of new computers means less consumption of natural resources and less pollution generated in the manufacturing process.</div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Thus the Finns had to create a compelling argument besides those two obligatory features to fight against the </span><a href="http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Apple-iPhone-5_id7378" style="background-color: white; color: #1d7fb4; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;" target="_self" title="Apple iPhone 5">iPhone 5</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> and said Androids, as they would be its main competition for the hearts and minds of consumers this holiday season.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Apple introduced the bravest overhaul to the iPhone so far with the 5th edition, shattering its 3.5” screen dogma, and Nokia logged its first 4.5” phone with more than one processor core, so in a sense both the iPhone 5 and the Lumia 920 are not a simple evolution of what had been before in the iOS and WP universes. Which one pulled it off better? Read on our comparison to find out...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">There’s no arguing that the iPhone 5 is one of the most compact and premium material smartphones out there, built out of glass and aluminum alloys. Nokia, on the other hand, threw every top features it was capable of in the Lumia 920, including an OIS camera, resulting in a both thick and heavy chassis, made of polycarbonate in various color choices, and zirconium for the well-situated side keys and the camera plate.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">This burly impression from the Lumia 920 holds true in comparison with larger screen phones like the top Androids, too, not only with the iPhone 5. Actually Nokia’s phone is just a 1.5 ounce heavier than the previous iPhone, for instance, yet it’s the combination of heft and girth that will catch you by surprise given today’s smartphone design standards. </span><br />

Just don’t expect easy one-handed operation from the Lumia 920, especially in comparison with the much smaller iPhone 5.</span><br />
