The one major restriction with QGIS on Windows is that you cannot use more than 2-3 GB RAM (depending on your configuration).
If you have big datasets and 4 or more GB of RAM you would want a 64bit QGIS - which is currently only available on Linux or MacOSX. Other than that, the Windows version is fine. On the other hand - these days installing Linux is often easier than installing Windows - but people wouldn't notice, since Windows comes usually pre-installed and they don't have to install Windows. People who are interested in a 64bit Windows version should think about hiring a developer or maintainer to work on it.
