Similarities between (Girls and Windows) and (Boys and Linux)
Girls and Windows
* Both have a great UI.
* Both consume large resources and do less work.
* Both crash unexpectedly.
* Both are not easily portable on different architectures (environment).
* Both can’t work on low resource architectures (environment).
* Both are costly to maintain.
* Both give mostly unexpected outputs.
* Both’s working often contradicts with their documentation.
* Both are easily prone to viruses (rumors and doubts) (and they (viruses) do spread very fast in windows based networks).
* In spite of all above disadvantages, both are liked.

Boys and Linux
+ Both have an average UI.
+ Both are robust.
+ Both are highly secure.
+ Both can be easily modified to support new concepts/features.
+ Both are efficient.
+ Both are easily portable to any architecture (environment) no matter how low are resources.
+ You can easily guess the output for your input (in Linux just open its code, for boys they are mostly transparent by natureJ).
+ Both provide large support for development (work environment).
+ Both are poorly documented.
