It's not perfect. In the computer world, nothing is. In response to all my original negatives about Windows, though:
Microsoft propriety - simply not present in Linux, it's a cooperative environment that uses different software from different places for different things and supports universal things that Microsoft doesn't
security holes - much fewer security holes, fixed much faster
bugs - I won't lie, Linux has its share of these as well, but they work to fix them fast
problems - obviously this really depends on the user, but I find them few and far between
constant threat of viruses and spyware - virtually unheard of in the Linux world
instability - well known and world renowned for its extreme stability
incompatibility with other operating systems - Linux is extremely compatible with virtually every other operating system
