I use both systems(Linux at home for work/personal, Win7 at work for day job) so I don't consider myself a fanboy. Just wanted to add that Windows didn't have these things working for years. They were awful before and can still give you a headache if you try to do anything that isn't "supported" by Microsoft. Only after MS had the manufacturers develop drivers specifically for its platform did these things get easier. I reference my current install of Win7 at work which took like 4 hours due to drivers' issues(and its a Dell machine). Also, my Win7 system needs a restart every few days or it slows down to a crawl. I'm picking on Win7 because the ones before it were much much worse and this one actually somewhat works. Can't speak for the Mac.
