Strengths and Weaknesses
Microsoft has done pioneering work with their Security Development Lifecycle, which builds security in throughout their development lifecycle.
Microsoft attributes significant reductions in mainline products-including Windows Vista, Internet Explorer.
Most of the windows users have an anti-virus or anti-malware utility install.
Windows XP Strengths:
It gives you the advantage to maintain and use it easily.
It’s the most reliable and stable system the company had ever created.
It also allows users to switch easily between applications and resume working on another.
The activity freezes less.
Weakness:
It’s less secure than windows vista.
Competitors and Threats
Linux is a competitor and a threat to windows.
Linux is customizable in a way a Microsoft window is not.
Linux can be downloaded from the internet.
Linux can be applied to handheld devices
Linux is difficult to use but can be easier to new users.
Windows XP so far is one of the best systems the company has ever made, even though it’s less secure but it’s easy to use and more reliable. Though, personally I prefer to use windows 7 because it’s newer and I find it easy to use more than XP. Plus, it’s more secure than the windows XP. Even if I encounter some problems with it but, at least they are trying to improve from their system and if we kept on using the Windows XP we won’t discover what’s there new to know about their other system. Linux can be a threat to Microsoft windows if they didn’t repair their weaknesses, but overall they are trying to improve their system every time they are inventing a new windows system.
