You will get opinions that condemn Windows. I'm not that fond of Microsoft myself, sometimes, but it is a necessary evil. Basically, Windows is easier to use, but less secure.Linux is generally more secure, but harder to setup. You have to know more about your operating system. After setup, it is almost as straight-forward as Windows.
Many people dual-boot Windows/Linux. Hope this helps.
