Because not many people are using it! This may not sound respectful but it's true.

Because not many people are using it! This may not sound respectful but it's true. Windows has borne the major brunt of 0-day exploits, viruses, trojans, adware and other malware because it has enjoyed a near monopoly in the desktop space. The more the number of users, the more money there is in exploiting the platform. Just look at the mobile space to get what I'm saying. There are more exploits available for iOS and Android (which is a flavor of Linux for mobiles) than Windows phone; why? Because, not many people are using it! read less

Hello All, Thank you so much for being there to have almost every question answered. I would to let you guys know of my misery and help me out. I have been working in an IT company for the many years now with absolutely no idea of what domain I am in. Its a normal IT job where I do not perform anything technical. And I think I am not going anywhere with this. Especially when I am almost 32 now. I know its late. Also I am not good at coding and guess I won't be able to learn coding. 'But', I do have some idea about SQL and at times & I think maybe I can try my hands at learning SQL. I also have a deep urge to learn Linux. The reason I mentioned SQL and LINUX is only because I think they wouldn't be too tricky(as much as JAVA, C, or any other programming language). Please let me know if I can go ahead with learning SQL and LINUX and if I do, What all roles can i apply for, in the future. I'd be grateful to you.
