    There are too many differences between UNIX and Windows, it can be said that there are few similarities, we are now used to using the Windows system, and we also know more about it, so let's talk about the special features of UNIX.

    1.The technology is mature and the reliability is high.

    2.Extremely scalable. UNIX is the only operating system in the world that can run on laptops, PCs, workstations, and megacomputers, and runs on all major CPU architectures (including Intel AMD and RISC chips such as HP-PA, MIPS, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, Alpha, etc.).

    3.The network is powerful. UNIX also supports all common network communication protocols, including NFS, DCE, IPX SPX, SLIP, PPP, etc., making it easy to connect UNIX systems to existing host systems, as well as a variety of WANs and LANs.

    4.Powerful database support capabilities.

    5.Strong development features. The UNIX system provides software developers with a wealth of development tools from the start. To be the preferred and primary operating system and development environment for engineering workstations.

    6.Good openness.

    7.Most of them operate in a command-based environment, using their powerful shell to complete tasks.

    I think compared with Windows, the most important advantage of UNIX for individuals and enterprises is that there is no copyright restriction, basically a free operating system, of course, in our Chinese pirated Windows, pirated software is more widely popularized and there are a group of enthusiastic crack genuine software enthusiasts with the support, UNIX in this area of benefits are not well reflected.

    To say that the reliability is compared with Windows, Windows is software developed by Microsoft, that is to say, in terms of kernel maintenance and updates, only Microsoft can complete the system patching, while Unix is done by the world's computer enthusiasts. And the source ** is all public, anyone can operate it, so the maintainers are very extensive. We can't expect Microsoft to hire people from all walks of life who use laptops, PCs, workstations, and even giant computers.

    Of course, this also shows that Unix is more open.

    It is precisely because of the good openness of UNIX that it can be said that researchers all over the world have chosen UNIX or Linux (Linux is generally used on desktops) for the software they develop, which also provides a stronger guarantee for the improvement of UNIX.

    The differences are as follows:

    1. The concept is different.

    Unix Operating System (Eunice), is a powerful multi-user, multi-task operating system that supports multiple processor architectures.

    The Windows operating system is the most common computer operating system and is an operating software developed by Microsoft Corporation.

    2. The characteristics are different.

    The UNIX system is mostly written in C, which makes the system easy to read, modify, and port. It provides a rich and carefully selected system call, and the implementation of the whole system is very compact and concise.

    The Windows operating system has the characteristics of good human-computer operation interaction, support for many application software, and strong hardware adaptability.

    3. The structure is different.

    UNIX's system structure can be divided into three parts: the operating system kernel (which is the core management and control center of the UNIX system, which is in the system boot or resident memory), system call (for program developers to call system components when developing applications, including process management, file management, device status, etc.), and applications.

    Windows XP is available in Home, Professional, and Central, and is Microsoft's consumer-facing operating system that uses the Windows NT (i.e., NewTechnology) architecture.

    UNIX is now generally used for servers or professionals, and Windows is generally a personal PC that is used for play.

    Pure Unix doesn't even have an interface, it's completely console, black framed, and you have to memorize and familiarize yourself with the various commands.

    There is also a desktop version of the operating system based on UNIX, to be exact, UNIX is just a kernel, there is no such operating system at all, and the UNIX system that can be used now is just an operating system based on the UNIX kernel. Because it is open source, there are many versions such as Ubuntu, Redhat, CentOS, and so on.

    UNIX operating system is stronger than Windows operating system in its network and security, UNIX operating system supports much higher concurrency than Windows, so UNIX is very suitable for servers.

    In fact, you are not right, Windows is also a series of versions, and the Windows Server version supports multi-user and multi-tasking.

    Okay, that's all there is to it, and I guess you can't understand it.

    First, the open source is different:

    1. UNIX open source. In order to promote the development of UNIX, AT&T licenses the UNIX source code to academic institutions for research or teaching purposes under low or even free licenses, and many institutions have expanded and improved on this source code, forming so-called UNIX derivatives, which in turn have contributed to the development of UNIX.

    2. Windows closed source. Microsoft Windows operating system is a set of operating systems developed by Microsoft Corporation in the United States, it came out in 1985, the grinding ruler brigade was only a Microsoft-DOS simulation environment at first, and the subsequent system versions were constantly updated and upgraded by Microsoft.

    Second, the multi-user function is different:

    1. The UNIX system is designed for multi-user from the beginning, and UNIX is extremely fast and has the ability of multi-task and multi-user.

    2. Windows started as an operating system designed for a single user. So the support for multi-user is not as good as Unix.

    3. File protection is different:

    1. UNIX uses the authorization of users to the file level, and the UNIX system processes the files, file directories and devices in a unified manner. It provides sequential or random access to files as a stream of characters without any record, and makes files, file directories, and devices have the same grammatical semantics and the same protection mechanisms, simplifying system design, making it easy for users to use.

    2. Windows File Protection (WFP) only exists to prevent programs from replacing important Windows system files. Programs should never overwrite these files, as they are used by the operating system and other programs. By protecting these files, you can prevent problems with your programs and operating system.
