I don't think that there is any argument over the fact that Linux is more secure and stable than Windows. That is all that should matter when it comes to summing up the quality of an OS.

However, I have to admit that most of us are left with no alternative to Windows when we use our computers for business. I used to run Slackware 7 before I started taking my work home with me, and now as a result Windows is all I run anymore. I hate Windows, but I can't risk fault Windows emulators and 90% of what I use is Windows exclusive (not even for Mac).

So Linux may be better, but it is not a viable alternative for most people. Although, IMO: OpenBSD > Linux.
