Abstract
Software has gained immense importance in our everyday life and is handling each and every aspect of today’s technological world. The idea of software at initial phase was implemented by a very precise minority of individual and now it’s everywhere whether one’s personal life or an organization .Financially strong organization and people who can purchase this bounty of technological era can fulfill their desires efficiently. For sure it’s not a generalized case that one is financially strong and can easily afford the desired software. There are numerous users who cannot do so. Open source software has a way out for these users it provides them the same facilities and functionalities as in their equivalent software irrespective of any financial pressure. So the financially constrained personals or organization can make use of open source software for achievement of their desired tasks. In this research paper an analysis of open source software has been presented by providing a brief comparison of Ubuntu as an emerging high quality open source modern operating system with well known Microsoft windows operating system.
