Not criticizing you - just offering an alternative viewpoint:
I can't remember the last time my windows system crashed and malware is not a problem as long as one is sensible. I have never been infected by malware of any sort and I do visit some dodgy sites.
Sandboxes and VM's are your friend as well as things like NoScript addon.
I can see absolutely no compelling reason to switch to Linux. I do use Linux on VM's for work related projects, but not seriously considering replacing my desktop with Linux any time soon. Perhaps the fact that I am also a power user of Excel colours my view.

Ditto with software (tho less of a problem i suppose).
