Microsoft always make there softwares more GUI (Graphical User Interface) based. So, windows is much easier to use than linux. If a user first time on a windows based pc, he can also run windows very easily. also if an experienced user of windows works on linux based pc he definitely have problems to run it.

I like linux a lot but a disadvantage when using it was that most of the programs that i use were only programmed for windows and i had to find an open source alternative like OpenOffice in place of Microsoft Office.
