You can program on every OS in basically the same way. Linux is free. windows is not. there is a windows compatible free OS called React OS that is compatible with windows binaries and drivers. Looks vintage but gets the job done if you necessarely need to run a windows only program (aka games) http://reactos.org

Depends on what you're trying to do. I like Linux better for most cases but I do web development and it's mostly preference. But in C++ Linux does strive because it have a good native compiler (GCC) and comes with many libraries.
