hello, i'm currently using Microsoft windows 2000. I wanted to get some simple-to-understand information about Unix Operating System and what it's advantages and disadvantages over Microsoft windows systems.
thanks

Read some of the other chapters e.g. "What Unix gets wrong[right]" to get a feel for what using modern *nixes is like and the importance and advantages of things like open standards, open source, portability, flexibility, community etc.

Do a "google" on "unix vs. windows" and you'll see hundreds of links like this one:
