RE: how we can say unix has greater flexibility than windows?
Unix is more flexible and can be installed on many different types of machines including main-frame computers supercomputers and micro-computers. Unix you have in general the option of using either command-lines (more control and flexibility) or GUIs (easier). it is easier to switch over b/w command mode and gui mode..... so it is more flexibility than windows.....

RE: how we can say unix has greater flexibility than windows?
UNIX is also a very flexible operating system both for system administrators and users. Program names can be changed aliases can be defined. Arguments to programs can also be changed. New programs can be built and put in the user's own bin directory thus allowing further customization of the system.
