As pooh sun tzu said, there is nothing that windows can do that linux cant, and vica-versa. Depednd what you like, i use WIndows, more software, and i just got used to it, even if ti give me some problems sometimes.
In my opinion they are about the same. but what it really comes down to is the end user and what they want to do. I sometimes get tired of using windows so I switch to linux or freebsd and use that for a while.
Funny... I've always had the impression that the most security conscious ppl some flavour of unix (linux/*BSD...)
I do have a dual boot (XP/Linux) since I can't really play games under Linux (Stupid laptop-integrated graphic cards...). But when it comes to programming, security and reliability, I'd vouch for linux
I blame the media for my misconceptions!
Although both linux and windows continue to grow, i think the windows world is more about layers of system where as many linux users rarely leave the command line, the more you add the more things could go wrong, but for the most part they are even in my book :)
Oh I pray pooh sun tzu doesn't find this thread.
No, Pooh would make it interesting... ;)
