On the desktop end of things, that argument could work, but a large fraction of servers do not use windows.

There's also the fact that with open source stuff, you get your fixes promptly (if not included in the bug notification), since there are so many independent programmers available out there.

Now, I don't mind using windows myself; it works well enough for me, but I won't be paying microsoft every 2-3 years to get the same old software in a new package with menus rearranged, some bugs fixed and intrusive software added.
Today IMO, the only things worth upgrading are your monitor, harddrive, RAM and anything from shrapnel.
