That's actually not true. There are viruses for linux, just not as many. But there are plenty of compromising tools used by hackers to gain access just like windows. I run XP x64 and Vista and I like them both. Vista may be slow, but it's fun to use. But when it comes to viruses and spyware, it all depends on how download-smart you are. Are you the kind of person to download anything you see and run it? If so, you will get a virus a week and have 20 spyware programs running at all times. I manage everything I download and only run things I know to be clean. Last time I had spyware/viruses? Over 5 years ago. I don't even run firewalls, spyware detection, or anti virus. Waste of time, resources, and money when you can do it yourself.
As far as stability, that's arguable. Windows next to never crashes for me. I've had linux crash on me before so I can't say one is more stable than the other. Vista's crashed less than my XP machine though.
CS works on linux too. Use WINE or Feisty. I know someone who plays CS on Ubuntu.
In the end, they're all decent. It just depends on what you do with your computer time. Everything I do will generally only run on windows so I have to run windows on both of my comps. I'd love to prop up fedora core on my other comp though. ^^ but it needs windows so I stuck Vista on it to play with it. Runs pretty nicely but yea, you need a good setup for it.
