Big difference. Microsoft is religious about backward
compatibility. They provide support for 10 years and
lots of docs. (Though the end-user docs are pretty bad.)

Does this include the new support policy as stated he

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...cle-fact-sheet

Linux support is typically 18 months. When I want
to install anything it needs numerous updates of system
files. Ridiculous stuff like 6.143.213.77 isn't good enough.
It has to be 6.143.213.88.

What about the Linux distros that are "Long Term Support"?
