I'd say just from a user experience point of view, it's easier to get things done on.
An example I always cite is the windows Control Panel. It's just a mess, because everything is a relic of older versions. Things like Font Smoothing could easily be moved under "Appearance" like ubuntu does.
It just seems infinitely better organised. Programs are organised by function, not company name. A lot of useful applications are pre-installed. CD Burners, editors, graphics software, office apps, etc.
Secondly applications are easier to install for 99% of apps "regular" users want. Add/Remove programs is very simple.
