Microsoft OS: Better Than Linux

Businesses small and large have made a slow transition to stable operations systems- or so they thought. Symantec, a leader in system security, has recently released news that Windows is actually the most stable operating system- surprising many.

Microsoft has often been bashed for having holes and security problems through the years, but Symantec has shown in research reports that Microsoft is actually doing the best out of the leading competitors.
