Nah. I think the people on this site that are knowledgable about computing are actually fairly tame and level headed. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. This place is a lot better for discussion than Gametrailers, IGN or Engadget. I'd put it second to Ars Technica for my list of online communities. Games are also a big plus!
What's best depends on the individual. Microsoft have pretty bad out of the box functionality but there's a ton of support in services, software and help from the massive community following it. I've also found it the best for development.
Linux is a computer geeks dream! It is capable of so much tweaking and playing around just to make it do so many things, useless and useful. When I got into Linux my grades definitely dropped some :).
Mac's have insane out of the box functionality. Almost everything, if not everything that you'll ever need is available to you from the start. People who don't want to waste time setting things up or tweaking things can have a great user experience right out of the box and stability is pretty good.
It really depends on where you stand for your computing needs and what software you've grown accustomed to. Also, before people start bashing me saying that a certain platform can also do something that isn't listed above... I know that there are a TON of factors and things that haven't been taken into account in that list... I'm here to give a general outlook, not write a book comparing them. Take it easy! You can't go wrong as long as you find which one works best for your needs.
