The following statistics are from the google search engine:

Keywords: Microsoft Sucks
Results: 426,000

Keywords: Linux Sucks
Results: 478,000

Keywords: Windows is better than Linux
Results: 2,500,000

Keywords: Linux is better than Windows
Results: 2,510,000

Keywords: Linux Rules
Results: 3,000,000

Keywords: Windows Rules*
Results: 5,170,000

Keywords: Linux
Results: 96,500,000

Keywords: Windows
Results: 114,000,000

Disregarding the third pair (see footnote below), internet users are split on which is better; but if you take into consideration the fourth pair, Linux is better because google has more pages with windows content.

*Most results for this query were negative towards Microsoft, such as that piece of @#*&^ Microsoft rules the computer industry and we have to do something about it.

Looks like a very close finish to me between which one is better.
