I used to be naive too, thinking Unix was better in all respects. Then got a job working in a predominately Windows environment, and most of the problems I encounter are third party software issues - hardly the fault of Microsoft eh? Yes Unix is far more interesting as you can start with a CLI and build on that to make what you want, however that is also it's downfall. The average PC user just about knows how to turn it on, write a document, browse the web and print.
Explaining to a computer user non-technical how/why/when to install software using the ports and make or even pkg_add -r and for them to grasp this concept is where Windows (OS/X also) is by far the 'better' OS for these people, which is more than 90% of the population.
