That's just the thing: Linux does not work better than Windows. In fact, it consumes considerably more time to make it even work and god forbid if you get an error of any kind...
Guess why I know this for a fact? Because I'm that goddamn tech-support guy who has to know all the commands up-side-down and in reverse when the users get problems. In a university with 100-200 computers, it's Linux which is causing the most trouble while Windows works like a charm (even while encumbered by 10+ background programs). Just last week I had to install the newest Fedora to a computer class-room and 50% of the installations refused to work outright.
So yes, as it stands, I think WinXP is better than any of the other systems, be it Mac, Vista, or Linux. I have heard good things about Ubuntu, but I have yet to test it.
