One starts with an L...one starts with a W.
One is 5 letters...the other 7.
One is Free...the other isn't.
One is used by approx. 80% of the population ...the other isn't.

And finally one ends with the letter X...the other one doesn't.
That about sums it up...

The other was developed by a guy named Linus.

Both wrong.

Last time I checked, a large number of people were involved in developing the first version of windows. Unless of course the windows 1.0 easter egg was just a bunch of random names.

Mr.Torvalds created the Linux <Kernel>, also, most tools that people that work with linux everyday use were not created by Linus, and, in fact, the majority of the codebase is not his. It's changed- evolved.
