Truth.
Let's see, the fact Windows looks easy doesn't mean it'll be perfect out of the box, or it should be left unattended in a luser's hands. If you want a decent system, you gotta know how to configure and maintain it properly. And that can be done in both Windows and Linux.
>>4 may very well be a Linux expert/fanatic who will take a week to do everything necessary for it to go smooth, then he/she goes and tries Windows out of the box, and trolls at message boards saying it sucks because it's M$ shit and all.
If you know about Windows what you need to know about Linux, you'd have no problems with it. In fact, I've found while Linux is more suitable for a server, Windows makes for a much better, faster workstation.
