I can only tell you that my company's IT guy strongly recommends Windows. He says Linux is a "flash in the pan" and not as user friendly.
Hope that helps.

For those of you who say "windows is easier/better", you people haven't had to go thru what I have to go thru. Windows stops responding just because it is windows. Windows forces you to run a GUI even if you don't want it. Windows has licensing issues. Windows is more of a resource hog. High end enterprises (the ones who put the six+ digits on your paycheck) don't use windows.
UNIX/Linux/BSD on the other hand is more stable, easier to manage, lightweight, portable, customizable (even "make your own brew" if you choose to) and high level enterprises will pay you good if you know it.
So, having said that, why being bound to a company that makes your eyes bleed with licensing fees, rubbish of support and a system that only runs in one architecture (and that is not even optimized for the architecture it runs on!).
And before you people jump on me, I administer an UltraSPARC server and an x86 server, both running UNIX flavours (OpenBSD and FreeBSD respectively). I manage an x86 laptop and one x86_64 desktop as well that run GNU/Linux. Oh and best thing of all, I can do my system administration from something as simple as a Nintendo DS (which I do sometimes, although most of the times, my admin tasks run from my laptop, which I am using right now).
Oh, yeah, and before I forget, there are corporations out there that support UNIX systems. IBM, HP and Sun Microsystems have their own UNIX systems (A/Ix, HP UX and Solaris). Other corporations support GNU/Linux systems, namely Red Hat and Novell for example. So yeah, there is support for UNIX as well.
