Here's my "two cents worth":

As much as I dislike Windows, I can always count on Windows
coming back from this kind of situation. It will complain, run
scandisk, and come back up. You might have some application
files corrupted, but at least the OS will run.

I'll throw in my $.01 worth...

You've merely been lucky.

Windows System files are more readily rendered corrupt, since often they are
held open.
(I won't go into the details concerning erroneous IDE/SCSI write ops during
abnormal outages..)

For a true point of comparison though, don't compare Linux to Windows,
rather to NT.

Try killing power on NT a few times...
