Windows certainly isn't perfect, but overall it has been a much less frustrating experience than Linux was.
I would agree....to some extent. For the desktop, yes, Windows is much less of a hassle when you want things to work out of the box and get going on whatever you need to do. Sure, with windows you need to install a b'jillion patches after install, but when was the last time it took you under 15 mins to get your decent sound card to work under linux?
As for a server though, I wouldnt trade a linux server for windows. Linux handles the details of operation very well, but windows just works. At the end of the day, I rather keep my hands off the keyboard and click my way around the OS, which is a lot easier on windows.
