Mac Users Prefer Linux Over Windows

Apple users are the most dedicated and fervent operating system fans with undying loyalty to their operating system, hardware and peripherals. And they're just as loyal now to the new Unix-based OS X as they were to the old proprietary Mac OS. However, when given the option of a Linux-based computer or a Windows-based one, 100% say they would rather use Linux.
Mac users cite stability, ease of use, reliability, lack of viruses and sleek design as their main reasons that they love their Macs.
I've personally never owned a modern Mac or an iAnything so I can only report what I've been told in a recent survey of Mac users. I do understand, however, their reasons for loving the Mac. I've never been able to afford a Mac product but, if what they say is true then the Mac may pay for itself many times over with uptime and fewer problems.
I do find it funny (strange not haha) that Mac users gave the same reasons given by Microsoft, and its fans, as why someone should love Windows. And those same Windows ads and fans say just the opposite about Linux.
How can it be both ways?
Mac users would rather use Linux because it's more like the Mac OS but Windows users say that Linux is too hard. Something there doesn't make sense to me.
I'm not taking sides on this one but rather only reporting what I've been told.
For the sake of you and other DaniWeb readers, I'd like to hear from Mac users who've also used Linux to find out if my other survey was flawed. Write back and let me know what you think about the following question: If your Mac were unavailable to you and you had a choice of a Windows PC or a Linux PC, which would you choose and why?

Ubuntu ,The friendliest face of Linux

Ubuntu versions of Linux have turned the tables for what was often deemed a 'geek-only' operating system. Designed for the average home user, they often compete with, and sometimes beat Microsoft's offerings for pure usability, especially in stripped-down incarnations.

If you haven't heard of Ubuntu, it's most likely because Linux developers don't have the deep pockets required to advertise widely, unlike the megabucks software corporations. It's been over three years since Ubuntu's first incarnation, and much work has been done to iron out bugs and make the package more complete. As it's a community-built project, it benefits from being constantly updated and modified, and a new version is released every six months.
The current desktop edition comes with OpenOffice built-in (see above), and there are
thousands of (variable quality) free applications to download, covering every area, as well as revisions of Ubuntu itself, tailored for different needs. An additional bonus is that most viruses are designed to attack Windows rather than Linux, so by using it you decrease the risk of being infected. Even so, there's plenty of free anti-virus
software available.
