In Windows you're much more likely to wake up one day the victim of some ransomware which has encrypted your files and demands bitcoin to get your files back again. It's not unknown for Windows updates to break systems either, and when you do have serious problems on Windows there's a limited amount of things you can do because the system is so opaque. At least on *nix you (or expert users helping you) can dive in to the source to figure out what's happening. With Windows you can be left at the mercy of waiting for Microsoft or whatever closed-source software you're depending on for a fix.
