I have been using Linux since PCQuest magazine gave the RedHat 5.2 CD some years back.
and I have also been using Windows simultaneously as dual boot, over the years.

In my opinion, both have their own advantages, Windows is easy to get accustomed to, simple to follow, but not quite secure.
Linux, or rather the Fedora Core 2 that I use these days, is secure & stable; but definitely needs a little timespan for a new user to feel comfortable.

Viruses are largely rampant in Windows, so on that front, FC 2 definitely has an edge over Windows.

Most of the games are made for the Windows environment.
On the other hand, a programmer will be devastated if the compilation of his program source code crashes in Windows.


Overall, I feel, choosing an Operating System is based on the requirements of the user.
