Some industrial control mainframes use high power consumption CPUs, and the cooling system adopts traditional fan cooling method. Generally speaking, the application system of industrial mainframe is WindowsXP/Win7/Win8/Win10 or Linux. here, COMPT will explain the advantages and disadvantages of using these two systems for industrial mainframe.

The advantages of Windows system are.
User interface setup: Its intuitive and efficient object-oriented GUI is easier to learn and use than the linux system
Software system support: Currently there are far more windows-based software on the market than linux-based software. Most companies tend to launch only windows versions because of software development costs, marketing, etc.

The disadvantages of Windows system are.
Platform support: windows systems are mainly supported and serviced by Microsoft, there is no open source, and most software on the windows platform is payware. System stability: the installation of Linux host can continue to run for more than a year without shutdown, while the windows system has a black screen, crash and some other problems security: windows system is often patched and updated, there are still viruses and Trojan horses; and the use of linux system, basically do not have to worry about poisoning.

The advantages of the Linux system are.
Software system support: inux system is mostly open source free software, users can modify, customize and redistribute it, but there is a problem, due to lack of funds, some software quality and experience is lacking.
Platform support:The open source code of linux makes secondary development easy and all Linux developers and free software communities around the world can provide support. High degree of modularity:Linux kernel is divided into five parts: process scheduling, memory management, inter-process communication, proposed file system, and network interface, which is very suitable for the needs of embedded systems Compatibility:Hardware support and network support. Fully compatible with unix. highly secure

The disadvantages of Linux system are.
Linux user interface is mostly graphical and command line interface, need to remember a lot of commands.
