this comment rocks:

Performance is only a small part of the issue. You have to look at
the TCO of running viruses to appreciate Windows properly. With Linux
it is far harder to run a virus and you've got to train all your
users to chmod etc. With Windows it's much eaiser, just double click
or drag and drop. Now that saves you a bundle in IT tech support when
people ask "how do I install virus X on my PC. Further, with Windows
you get a lot more choice. You can get a wide selection of popular
viruses from easy to download sources. Linux is pretty short on
choice, so if you switch to Linux you're limiting choice which is
UnAmerican.
