The only argument that you offer below for windows as "the best tool"  is a 
"shallow" learning curve and a simple installation.

The vitriol is aimed as MS as a predatory corporation that has wreaked havoc 
on competitors with monopolistic business practices.

It is the only tool for the job when the decisions as to what to purchase are 
made by technically illiterate suits.

Comparing stability of one with usability of another is comparing apples and 
oranges.  Besides, I see no increase in windows stability, simply change for 
the sake of selling the same functionality over and over again.

No options vs. several options is hardly an advantage, except to the very 
lazy.

Pick a single linux GUI and you also have consistency.  Again, lack of options 
is hardly an advantage.

Yes.  If you are used to windows installations, the great range of options 
available in any flavor of *nix is a daunting task.

But without the technical expertise to even install a *nix system, how can 
your "portable" application really be optimal for a target *nix system.  And 
you are obviously not talking about GUI applications, but text only.
