To be blunt, I found multi-media support better with Linux.  Neither
supports everything out-of-the box, both require installation of other
things.  But once you've done that, things "just play".  With Linux, I
could play almost anything with the same program, didn't have to buy
anything to play someone else's files, don't have to worry about media
players executing trojans in media.

There probably are things that work better on Windows, I'm sure
digital-rights-managed media is probably easier.  But I don't play with
such stuff.  And I've come across plenty of things that I just couldn't
manage to get Windows to play, so it's certainly no panacea.
