Is it cool or not?

Let's find out How to enable God Mode on Windows OS? To enable God Mode in Windows make a New Folder on a desktop and rename it with below given name.

Adding a key, even if you make a mistake is rarely fatal. Deleting or modifying the wrong one can be. Press Windows key+R and type
 regedit

And in regedit find for

Linux Vs. Windows

Linux Vs. Windows is the most common question when you are thinking about migrating from Windows to Linux or Linux to Windows. OK Then, you are thinking what are the best features are available in Linux so I should prefer Linux over Windows or Windows over Linux.
Linux Vs. Windows
Windows is not equal to Linux
1. Price
Majority of Linux OS are available for free. Microsoft Windows can run between $50.00 - $150.00 US dollars per each license copy.

2. Ease Of Use
Most of Linux variants have dramatically changes to make Linux easy to use. But, people prefer Windows over Linux in term of ease of use because it's more likely they are using Windows Computer at home,office and school.

3. Software
Linux variants are Open-Source. Most of software of Linux are also Open-Source so they are available for free. However, Windows has a much larger selection of available software.Because of the large amount of Microsoft Windows users, there is a much larger selection of available software programs, utilities, and games for Windows. 

4. Cost Of Software
Linux Software are mostly available for free. Such complex software like Gimp, Open office, Wine,etc are also available for free. Although windows has some software which are available for free but most complex software like Adobe Photoshop , Microsoft Office, etc will cost between $50.00-$200.00 US dollars per each license copy.

5. Security
No one can beat Linux when we are talk about security. Sometimes Linux can be attacked but it is more secure than windows. over the years windows had made many changes in security but,  their operating system continues to be the most vulnerable to viruses and other attacks.

6. Ease of Getting Software
Linux has own Software center. You don't have to open Google to find Softwares. Now, Windows 8 comes with window store. But, windows store is new in the market as compared to Linux. Linux software center is rich with different free software as compared to windows store.

7. Community 
It is hard to find a people with rich knowledge of Linux OS. But there are lots of community from there you can get support. Microsoft has its own Q/A center. There are lots of documentation and eBooks are available for Windows support. 

8. Multiple Desktops
Linus gives you 4 Work panels. So it is easy to multitasking on Linux Platform. Windows 8 gives you switch window. It is also good. 

9. Rapid Evolution
There's no competitor of Linux in revolution. Linux variants are get updated every six months. Windows Vista took five years to appear, and was seen by many critics and users alike as a big step backwards, if not a complete flop. Since Windows 7 would take another three years to come along, that was virtually an eight-year wait for an operating system upgrade! 

10. No Prerequisites 
Linux is built to run on any Platform. You can run it on PC with 256 MB ram with so ease. Windows does not give you this like freedom. Linux gives you pre-installed Drivers.

11.  Customization 
Linux can be customized easily with Ubuntu tweak. There are many software available to customize Linux. There are many themes available for Linux. Windows can customized with its own themes. 

So what about you? Linux Or Windows !!!
