There isn't one.
Each operating system is what we call 'fit for purpose', meaning it's the best at what it does.
A lot of people like Windows (XP) because it's the most popular and you're pretty much guaranteed compatibility with both hardware and software.
But some like Apple OS, they make cool stuff like MP3 players and phones too. And, of course, its main selling feature is the fact that there has never been a reported virus on a Mac. There have been internally developed proof-of-concepts as well a security flaws and vulnerabilities in various releases of Apple software, but there has never been a full blown Mac virus in the same vein as those so prevalent on the PC.
And I like Linux, why? It's free. That's free as in virus-free, software-free and cost-free. You get a new operating systemas often as your Windows friends get 'windows updates' or your Apple friends get a new song...
But really... it all down to personal preference.
