As per the recommendations of Govt of India the organizations should prefer the softwares of FOSS category but according to [2] Red Hat – Georgia Tech study ranked the top countries in FOSS adoption. India is at twenty third rank out of 75 countries studied.

It is being said that Government’s OS BOSS is dying a slow death due to lack of patronage[4].

In this paper these two operating systems has been studied, analysed, compared on the basis of experiments, surveys using questionnaires, study of previous research outputs in form of research papers and phd thesis’. MS windows may be better in many aspects than B.O.S.S but at many points B.O.S.S. may be better and it may be improved if used and feedback supplied regularly. The practical implementation has been performed on these two operating systems for exploring the features like file system, language support, disk partitioning and CPU usage.Also users feedback has also been collected using questionnaire and analysed.
