*Linux itself is only a kernel and often used in combination with the GNU toolchain and the X window manager to provide a GUI interface. Windows on the other hand is always packed with it's own windowing/graphics system.

Having access to the source code is probably the single most significant difference between Linux and Windows. The fact that Linux belongs to the GNU Public License ensures that users (of all sorts) can access (and alter) the code to the very kernel that serves as the foundation of the Linux operating system.
