Dear All In the office , I am using centos on my workstation and I want to promote my colleagues to use this os on their pc as well. Can you please let me have a reference link on a good web page that has compared centos with windows and has highlighted its excellent feature ?

Hey Hadi,
Instead of pushing the OS maybe you can start them out on some FLOSS applications that fit well with their functions and uses. You haven't told us much about the kind of work they do or the software they use to do it.
LibreOffice, Firefox, and Thunderbird with the Lightening extension will probably meet the productivity needs of most of your fellow office workers. If they adopt the FLOSS applications then you have a much greater chance of getting them to convert to any flavor of Linux.
If they use any type of specialized software then your chances of finding support for those applications on Linux will be much slimmer. For example, there is no direct replacement for Microsoft Access on Linux. LibreOffice has Base but it's not Access compatible. You would need to totally redesign and rebuild pretty much from scratch and still not achieve duplicate functionality to the Access application you had before. Same situation for Photoshop. Linux has The Gimp but it's not a drop in replacement. CATIA and CADDS do not run on Linux and have no real drop in replacement. AutoCad does not run on Linux but there are 2D design tools that *might* be capable enough to support your functions.
