Hi,
These are the practical reason why I have selected Linux as my OS.
Windows :
The only plus being is that it is easier to use. (no one will deny that)
Windows is definitely not easy to use. Unless u like BSODs. Familiarity is another matter though.
Linux :
No Viruses.
A few viruses do exist but they work only on default configs. The damage that they do is severely crippled due to Linux's security architecture.
Technically correct.
Not always. A few bugs do exist in linux/OSS softwares.It is only that they are fixed very very soon. and may I add they are generally not as threatening as wide open holes u find in non-OSS softwares.
Non - microsoft product (so it is out of dirt cheap politics) More flexible. I hold a prestigious place in my friend circle when I say that I know linux, since everyone knows that it is not that widely used so I got to be different.
you will soon outgrow linux (probably though i hope not :)) ) if that is the primary reason if you moved to linux. linux is cool. but the "in-things" change frequently.
