But I can paraphrase for you as I read it...
Linux may offer less support, but not much and it will give you more control over the core system to fix problems when they do occur. Windows will offer greater support with less control over the incompatibilities at a cost to you. But for the average user on a pre-installed machine you won't any longer know the difference unless you have a particular application your trying to get to run that for saleability or political reasons (i.e. Direct X, MS SQL, etc.) is sold as platform dependent. In these cases however, Microsoft may still be a better choice.
