Kernel Comparison for Linux (2.6.18) vs. Windows (2003 R2)
Sunday, November 26, 2006


This is actually a very interesting comparison. It is set up in a kind of check-list form where features are listed, and then checked with a Y (Yes) or N (No) or specific stats for support/ performance under the Linux or Windows kernel. My favorite part:
average bug error rate per line | 0.02% | 1.2% (0.21%-2.5%) |
The green, of course is the Linux kernel, and the red is the Windows kernel. Nice. Other features covered:
Architecture, Source Code, Hardware Architectures, Process Management, Filesystem, Networking, and more!
