I have just finished developing a windows software. How or where can I get a free open source software for developing an installer for my application?

For example, Ubuntu needs a program called Wine to install Windows-based software. So is there another Linux OS that can install them right away? And if so, whats the lowest Linux OS memory usage?

I’m hoping to set up a project for developing an MS Windows open-source program. Is there an organization for Microsoft Windows open-source software development which is similar to the GNU/Linux organization?

Open Source software has been around for a long time now and it pretty much in a stage where it rivals windows in many ways, there have been tons of articles about Ubuntu,Fedora,Suse and many other distros. So why do we use windows and keep paying Microsoft for crappy OS? Ubuntu for example is way easier than windows to use and comes with tons of free software.

I see and hear all over the place that Linux is better than Windows for developing. But I never hear any real concrete reasons. I’d like to know just some general ideas (or detailed if you feel like typing) why people use Linux over Windows for development. Note, the question is not why to choose Linux over Windows as an OS for any reason. I am interested specifically in why to use it for developing. Thanks.

Hello all. I’m a Windows user, but I’d like to try out a Linux distro. I’m looking for an OS that has a similar GUI to windows and similar applications, with high compatibility with Windows programs. I was thinking of Ubuntu. Do you guys have any better suggestions? Thanks.
