OK, that was flamebait, and you bit. -10 points :)
However, I do have reasons for saying what I did. If you've already
read these arguments, just skip this mail...
People tend to assume that Linux is secure, stable, efficient,
etc. per se. It's not -- it has all these qualities because of the
FLOSS development process. Since a system is only as stable, secure
or efficient as its weakest component, adding programs that have not
been developed using that process to Linux means that you're dragging
the whole system down to an insecure, unstable, inefficient
configuration. If you're going to do that anyway, why bother to use
Linux in the first place? Much simpler to cough up for Winduhs and
let the problem be Microsoft's (or, as is usually the case, no one's
at all).
