Well, one advantage I can pull off my recent explorations is how it handles disks. Linux keeps track of spaces on hard drives where files are placed, can be placed, etc. whereas Windows essentially dumps them wherever it can find room, with little thought put in to the matter. The latter necessitates continuous defragmenting, while the former keeps things very organized and potentially improves the speed of disk access over time.
You have to look beyond applications, and at the platform as a whole. There is some really cool stuff on the Linux end!
Granted, there are some really ugly hacks implemented by certain distros in their early days that never seem to get removed, but at least we know they're there!
