The study indicates a strong appeal to the flexibility of being able to use Microsoft Windows and Linux features on one single account.
The research shows that web developers seek the flexibility of using both Windows and Linux platform to build their websites. That’s what attracts web developers to this faultlessly integrated Multi Platform technology.
