Is Microsoft learning from Ubuntu, an open source platfrom





As the releasing date of windows 9 coming closer and closer more leaks are coming out.
 All these leaked photos of the Windows Technical Preview are shedding light on what the next version of Windows will look like. The Start Menu, which was killed off by Microsoft Corp. after Windows 7 in favor of the touch friendly Metro interface found in Windows 8, will be resurrected in Windows 9. Microsoft announced the inclusion of a new, hybrid Start Menu at its Build Conference, earlier this year. Thanks to photos and videos that have leaked, we now have a better idea of how this “smart” Start Menu will work.
Some of the other features are notification center, run metro apps in desktop mode.
But one feature is the virtual desktops, Virtual desktops, a feature that allows users to create, save, and easily switch between multiple desktop configurations, has been available in competing operating systems, like Ubuntu, for some time. With it, a user could have a desktop with several image and video editing applications open and running, and then switch to a different desktop used for browsing the web, or one with a running game, waiting to resume progress. It’s a useful way to manage system resources, as well as screen real estate

Ubuntu is an open source platform free to use and best alternative to Microsoft windows Operating System. After watching the leaked video of virtual desktops what we assume, is Microsoft learning from Open source Ubuntu, is Ubuntu is richer in features than Windows or something else.
