It has a universal component model, leading to a variety of universal
scripting languages. It has a more powerful file system as well as a
more powerful permissions system. The features of the file system and
permission system are actually well-integrated into the tools. It has
transactional features built in, so you can say "I need to write these
three files, add those three tags to the middle of that XML file, and
put three records in the SQL database over there, and I don't want
anyone to see any of the changes before they're all committed, and I
want them to all roll back if I dump core in the middle." Lots of stuff
(hardware and software) Just Works, but I'll grant that's more a
business bit than a technical bit.
The fact that Linux lacks these things and you don't miss them in Linux
and don't use them in Windows is what I was talking about earlier.
