Each has a place.
Windows for most folks is fine for desktop work. A certain amount of tech-savviness is required in order to use *NIX-like operating systems. How would your everyday Joe Bloggs know what an MBR is or how to go about dual-booting? Chances are, he won't, unless he has an aptitude and a requirement for it. Even if he has a requirement for it, after reading the instructions or the process required to get it working, he'll probably opt for an easier option. Why waste time on A, when B can do it easier and quicker for you?
I need Windows for processing my astrophotography. I am pro-IRIS, and it hasn't been ported to *NIX. Nor am I aware of any other tool which is as great as IRIS that resides on the *NIX platform.
If there's one thing I'm not, it's a Windows basher. Nor am I a *NIX weenie. I loathe both (types of people).
Besides, Linux is a broken operating system. Debian just happens to be one of the least broken distributions.
You can most definitely use *NIX commands in Windows, by simply downloading a *NIX utilities for Windows and adding the directory to your %PATH%. Easy as pie.
Debian/GNU Linux for life (or until I switch to *BSD).
