Stability, Windows vs Linux
It's not just that Linux is more stable than Windows in core operating system functions, that means it almost never hangs (if you don't use latest developmental unstable kernels), there's another side to that, which is: Windows is more stable in GUI functionality than Linux, so that when it crashes when playing an specific second of a movie, it keeps crashing there all the time, but on Linux, all you need to do is a kill -9 and rerun the application and it plays like a charm!
