Windows is never free, you pay for it in the price of the PC. You can see that when you look at netbooks. If you look at the 12" Dell ones the XP version is £50 more than the Linux one. The only other difference is a slightly bigger hard drive - probably not even £10 extra. The Linux Hard drive is 60Gb and the XP one is 80Gb.
With Linux you don't get all the spyware and virus issues you do with Windows. You don't need the anti this and anti that software so your PC runs faster.
I agree there are still issues with Linux, there are a lot of issues with Windows though. If you buy a new PC with Linux on you wont have any problems.
