RE: If Everyone Used Linix == Same problems - rubbish
You need to do some research on this tired old useless argument. It has been discredited so many times.
A Simplified answer:-
Windows OS executes files based on their file extension.
Unix/Linux needs to have an execute bit set and this is not set automatically, you have to physically set this bit after transferring the file to the file system.
