Coming to your beloved hens, question is not "Who is the best flier among the birds". Question is "Who is the best hen among the birds". And answer is, obviously, hen! :D

2. Yoga, I doubt that such thing as "error-free program" is exist at all. And even if it would exist, I doubt that universal driver that support any type of hardware exist too. So your claim essentially means "Linux is old obsolete crap that infested with bugs and don't support any modern hardware, but we feel it perfect!"

Fortunately, you are not right. Looking on any source (for example, Wikipedia for exactly Linux kernel) we'll see that Linux have constant flow of updates - exactly like any Windows. And if you'll look somewhat higher, you'll see that, unlike Windows, Torvalds even doesn't feel in mood to announce security breaches that he fixed. Leaving aside reasons of this decision, I can say that it's exactly the same "billions of updates". If you didn't see them, well, too bad. They are exist anyway.

And what's that strange tendency to compare everything that doesn't match your point of view to inquisition? :oh: Everyone has a right to his own opinion, right?

I have to agree with Smiling Spectre, if it comes to compatibility to Windows, no other OS has better compatibility than Windows itself. That's a logical fact that should be pretty obvious. That said, with a bit technical knowledge there are other OSs which might be still better, as in more secure, more anonymous, less known (no viruses for it) etc.
Also, usually nothing stands in the way of installing two OSs simultaneously, so for strictly Windows-only programs you have Windows, and for other things like going online you have something else.
