You can't really say which is generally better, it depends what you use it for, for technical users, Linux is better, for servers, Linux is better, you'd have to be mad to run a server on Windows. But for the average home user, at the moment Windows is better.

I think it's more that most hackers use Linux, and a lot of Linux hacking does go on, most of the internet runs on Unix based OS's.
As for viruses, only lame script kiddies write them and most of them don't have any idea how to use Linux, except maybe the odd case of "l0lzz!! UbUnTU iZ lYk3 s0000000 c000l!!!"

Are you certain of that? Reading your post I'm thinking you might not have used Linux before.
Yes Linux is better than Windows, if you know what you're doing with it or have the time to learn
