In any "vs" question you tend to get answers on both sides regardless  f how crummy one side is in comparison.  I think you should try  
Linux and decide for yourself.   Linux won't cost you a cent and you  
can always switch back and forth.  Just keep in mind that you won't  
learn all Linux can do in a day.  You'll need a bit of patience.

For two many reasons to list, I'd have to agree with the  
"professional guy" and say that Linux is generally a far better tool  
for making Internet applications.
