Linux is good, but only in niche areas; the key word is niche.

I have no interest in joining this flamewar, but wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Windows is good, but only in niche areas?

Where is Windows good or dominant except on the desktop? Linux is dominant in supercomputing and *nixes still dominate servers. Video and audio editing is mostly done on Mac, and Windows is a very distant third in the smartphone market.

Everything is a niche market, Windows just dominates more of them than Linux.

The opposite is true. Windows dominates one market: the desktop.
