Why do most companies use linux instead of windows then???
I doubt this, any reference ?
Most people believe they get better product when they pay for it

When you check out, there are not a lot of people trusting Windows with valued data. If you have a company and want to handle data you will most likely go with some kind of Unix based server. Banks, for instance, wont use Windows servers to handle customers money and transactions.
I dont know about you, but I would like to go to bed knowing I am using a robust operating system to handle my Bitcoins. Nowadays you can end up having a lot of money on cryptocoins and (even if you got them really cheap) its time to start protecting them the same way you protect your money.
So maybe its time to download Ubuntu or Debian.
If you dont want to change your Windows life get an dedicated computer for Bitcoins, install some Linux flavor on it and use your online wallets and exchanges from there.
Remember that, with Bitcoin, you are your Bank!

I stopped at this point.
The last ATM I saw from the back had a nice windows logo on it's screen.
Also the people in the bank are using computers running windows.
The largest corporation I saw using only Linux was Jurassic Park Inc.
An ATM running Windows and showing you the OS Logo?
Yeah dude, I would use that OS to take care of my money!
If you use an ATM, you do use it. The only time you will see the Windows logo is during a reboot, or the inevitable crash, but since it runs embedded and it is on a non-volatile non-writable disk image there is no damage, it senses the crash via a watchdog timer and reboots itself.
Windows is in a lot of things you use, as is Java. Your GPS device, guess what, Windows CE. Depending on what car manufacturer you have if you have an integrated GPS, it is either Windows CE or a custom system. If it is Ford with Sync, yeah, you guessed it, Windows CE.
Don't take my word for it, I only work on these thing for a living, and did in the military.
Hell, here's a "I bet you didn't know"
The M1A2SEP Tank the military uses runs Windows CE on it's Commanders Display Unit, it also has a Red Hat partition for the FBCB2.
The FBCB2 (Blue Force Tracker) uses Red Hat.
The true is that people tend to use the same computer to store wallets and surf the internet and nowadays there are a lot of viruses waiting for you to click. Trojans, keyloggers, spyware, etc, etc. In a 95% of the cases that shit wont hit you in Linux because thay are simply devoleped to run on Windows. Linux is a bit safer since you have to manually install stuff provinding root data. What makes Linux harder to learn is what also makes it harder to hack. This is a fact and I encourage anyone here to tell his "I was on Linux and got hit by a virus".
Even there are security loop holes with linux, it is the same with windows.
I do not see any major difference between these two.
However, linux systems perform well than its windows counterpart.

Security holes in linux can be fixed by anyone who knows it exists, but it cant be in windows. Thats what makes linux superior.
I would call linux superior. The fact that the it is open source can cause it's weakness also.
Vulnerabilities have to be discovered with Windows and OS X, with Linux one just has to look through the source of the latest release and find the vulnerability and exploit it until it is patched.
Each OS has it's place, each has it strengths and weaknesses, not one is superior to the other.
I enjoy Linux, have been using it since the early days of Red Hat before X11 was even part of the main installation. I was a command line junky back then, but I was also wearing the wrong color fedora too. (Geeks will understand)
Now I use Mac OS X and I like it because of it's unix backend, and I have my Windows in VM's for application specific stuff, mainly my Motorola programing software.
I would run either Fedora or Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro if it wasn't for the wife and her damn netflix (Linux guys/gals knows this headache) and our iPhones (iTunes)

How about you read the entire post , and be careful at the words?
I loaded more ATM's than I have ever used in my life when I was younger.

I always wondered how Ubuntu can be secure when it doesnt have regular updates, just new major versions
Apparently you haven't run Ubuntu, packages are updated regularly, sometimes several times a week.You can also do stupid things in Linux. I have seen several users that think they have to sudo any program, don't understand file permissions, and are prime targets for a trojan horse. The word "rootkit" comes from the Unix world, and the super user root.
If you have Bitcoin on your computer, much better advice is to do all your web browsing in a virtual machine, such as virtualbox + whatever OS you like + a non-IE non-chrome web browser, so that even when you get pwnd, the hack can't get out of the sandbox.
without loosing...

Actually , when I saw that girl playing monopoly on a "UNIX" system , that was the moment I press the stop button.
Enough BS was enough.

You forgot to add that, the patch are quick to be release than Windows, because it is open source.
They can be, but it also depends on what distro you are using. If you are using ubuntu you will get faster patches then say slackware, or debian its self. Patches for major releases still have to be approved before pushing them out for any os.

I agree, Microsoft is doing good work and publishing security patches regularly. You pay for it and many programmers working on windows security

Not only that, but sometimes people hide hacks in new alt coins. Linux can save you from that (most of the time).
This Im worried as well, this is why I dont install any of the alt coin client
With ubuntu you should be fine. If its a popular coin then I dont even try to verify, but if its new put the qt on a virtual box.
Windows have virtual box as well, and it is free
Yes. You could do that as well. What the op means is to not use vm but just linux.

Majority of the ATM's run windows embedded, the software on the terminals in the majority of banks is Windows, and I hate to break it to you, but windows server is used as the backend too.
In the US you will find the government ie. DOD uses microsoft, windows and server, most major corporations use windows and server for simplicity.
We live in a time where simplicity is everything and that is where good 'ole Bill Gates rules, he created a software and a monopoly to go with it.
Yes you can accomplish the same thing with linux, I have setup a full windows domain compatible linux server and showed how it was cost efficient to the higher ups, in the end we still went with microsoft because in there eyes, windows has a reputation.
I always wondered how Ubuntu can be secure when it doesnt have regular updates, just new major versions
Apparently you haven't run Ubuntu, packages are updated regularly, sometimes several times a week.Actually I just boot live Ubuntu CD without Hard disk to access exchange + blockchain.info wallet. So no updates are done. Is it secure to do it this way ?
