Microsoft Linux isn't a threat to Windows on the desktop and is losing steam on the server as customers separate the operating system from the development model, according to Microsoft's chief platform strategist. Bill Hilf, general manager of competitive strategy at Microsoft, said pundits have predicted for years that Linux will gain momentum on the desktop, but that won't happen because of the complexity involved in delivering a tightly integrated and tested desktop product.

Apps usually run slower on Linux than on Windows. I have used both operating systems for years on the same and on different computers.

I disagree, and I've also used both operating systems for years. My apps are as snappy when I boot into Linux than when I boot into Windows. I do believe your bias is affecting your judgement on this one.
