Cloudane hit the nail on its head, but I'll give some personal input anyway.
Did you know:
Looking better than windows is highly subjective, and there are tons of things you can do to make windows look different.
It cannot do many of the things Windows can.
Hardware support is still quite a bit behind what Windows has.
It comes default with tons of software you'll probably never need.
It offers a lot more configuration options than Windows, if you're a hard core computer enthusiast. If not, it just offers a little bit more.
Don't get me wrong though, I like Linux a lot for servers, but that's probably how it'll be for quite some time to come. It simply doesn't have what I need on my desktop and laptop, and I don't see a reason to spend hours on hours configuring WINE or Cedega (one of the games I play the most has been proven practically impossible to make work in Cedega), when Windows does what I need right out of the box, and never crashes, get viruses or spyware anyway. Oh, now that I think of it, that's a lie. I got infected once when I downloaded a crack I knew was from a bogus site, and it has crashed maybe four times since I installed XP in 2002, one of them being because of faulty hardware.
