[0] Commercial Applications [FreeBSD] The number of commercial applications for FreeBSD is growing rapidly, but is still below what is available for Windows. In addition to native applications, FreeBSD can also run programs compiled for Linux, SCO Unix, and BSD/OS. [Windows 2000] There are thousands of applications available for Windows, far more than for any other OS. Nearly all commercial desktop applications run on Windows, and many of them are only available on Windows. If you have an important application that only runs on Windows, then you may have no choice but to run Microsoft Windows. [Linux] 
Many new commercial applications are available for Linux, and more are being developed. Unfortunately, Linux can only run binaries that are specifically compiled for Linux. It is unable to run programs compiled for FreeBSD, SCO Unix, or other popular operating systems.
