Linux was first distributed under GNU General Public License in 1992. Although it's still regarded as a very bare bones operating system, without a graphical interface like Windows, it has nevertheless grown considerably, with just a few lines of source code in its original release to where it stands today, containing more than 23.3 million lines of source code. It was created by Finnish student Linus Torvalds, who wanted to create a free operating system kernel that anyone could use.
Linux was launched later than Windows, in 1991. However, some iterations of the platform still fared better than others and although it is still the most popular computing platform, users have dropped off over the years and migrated to other platforms, such as MacOS and Linux. That was the last MS-DOS version of Windows, allowing for an even faster evolution of services since. One major shift happened with the launch of Windows ME in 2000.
