Most of the unofficial blogs are written and published by Microsoft MVPs, to promote various Windows 8 Edition.

Comparing Windows 8 Edition with Other Operating System

Forget about any Windows 8 Edition – Few Billion Dollars businesses are running on WordPress, few Billion Dollars businesses are deploying Open Stack, Open Cloud, free Linux OS.  Saying about Open Cloud will sprinkle salt on Microsoft’s wound.

Ubuntu has good supportive forum, Debian is one of the most stable distro. Its your money, you will decide which Windows 8 Edition to choose, but definitely try these free Linux distro once in life.

We have not said about Mac OS X in this Windows 8 Edition article, it uses core of UNIX.
