I agree with jdemaris - "I find the anti-Microsoft comments silly..." No business that has ever existed is perfect.
Cussing Microsoft is like cussing Ford, Chevy, or John Deere... They all make mistakes, but they're still the best "bang for your buck" out there...
If you have a technical bent and like to tinker, the Linux variants are fine and you might have fun learning something new. You WILL be out in the weeds support-wise on most scanners, printers, digital cameras, etc, if you have Linux and have trouble getting any of those type of hardware devices to work.
To me, Linux on the desktop is similar to hybrid carsin that they are OK while they're working, but just wait till you have trouble.... Its hard enough keeping mainstream technology going...
Unix can be reliable, but it also can fall flat on its face just as easily as Windows... I say that as having been a Unix sysadmin for 20-30 users over 10 years and was playing with Minix which came about before Linux was written.
The best way (in the past year or two) to keep a Windows XP (or newer) PC clean is just don't browse the internet in an administrative user account. Especially if you have kids that use it, if you just keep them in a non-admin userid, it drastically limits the ability of any virus to get installed on it.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
