Ok I have to revise some of my articulations on this issue. My first
post was a bit rambelling, and was not as precise as it could be.
To address a few points...

That's debatable. I'm in the middle of taking the MCSA, and let me tell

What Windows lacks is the ability to configure everything... this is where linux and UNIX has it all over windows, but... you have to deal with it's complexities to do it.

editing and viewing documents of various types
web browsing

I think you made some very good points. I would only like to stress the
fact that:
1) a *nix environment is probably the _best_ web server out there...

2) linux has, and probably (even though we don't like to admit it)
always will be a more complex operating system.
