Every operating system has flaws and strengths. Personally I like Windows and Linux at the same time but both for different uses.
I primarily use Windows because I don't want to spend the time needed to get all my games working in Linux. Sure it's possible and I'm sure works very well but I don't want to spend the time setting up each game. This, however, is one of the only reasons I still use Windows. It just happens to be a major factor. Other users that don't game should be jumping for joy at the chance to use Linux.
I despise the fact that Windows has no idea how to manage a filesystem and is in need of defragmenting depending on amount of file access and changes. I also don't like the need to download and install drivers for absolutely everything.
Linux has most drivers built-in which can be a major advantage. Updating software on Windows means downloading and installing dozens of programs and drivers manually. In Linux, it's handled by a package manager or the command prompt which takes only minutes to do. A single command or a few mouse clicks is all that's needed to update everything.
Then there's the fact that I'm constantly tweaking and modifying my system and the one that breaks first is normally Linux. But then again I'm usually on the bleeding edge in terms of the distribution so there's going to be issues no matter what.
