It depends on the use.
For general desktops running commercial programs and games, Windows 7 (or XP on an older machines) is probably the best.
For servers, storage machines, VoIP systems (Asterisk servers etc) and anything that requires ultimate stability and reliability, an Enterprise-grade Linux version (such as Centos or Scientific) is the best without any doubt.
For tablets, both Apple IOS (originally based on Unix) and Android (a form of Linux so also a Unix-type system) both have advantages.
Linux is OK for some types of desktop systems. The downside is not Linux itself, but that so many applications are only available for Windows systems.
The Apple Mac desktop operating system has similar advantages with stability but disadvantages with software availability.
