Look at Windows. To theme it, you have to first patch system files or buy some bloated software. Then you have to replace system files to get your theme just right. With Linux, theming is just the act of dragging and dropping an archived file into your theme manager and that's it.

Going back to the driver issue with Windows. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent looking for a specific driver just for something minuscule. If I have a Bcm4345 wireless card, I can't install the Bcm4345b driver and get it to work on Windows. On Linux, just about if not all pieces of hardware work from the get go. If it doesn't, well guess what, there are huge donkey communities that have written so much documentation to help people with that issue.

The infrared receiver on my laptop stopped working after installing Windows 7. Went to the driver provider for my laptop. They didn't have it. Called the company and after a strenuous amount of the time I got a "Sorry, wee can't help you. Call Microsoft. *click*".

If you don't have an AV, how do you know you're not infected? Typically, viruses don't slow down your machine. Adware and cache build up is what slows it down.
