 * What’s the difference between MS and Linux hosting? Linux is $3 cheaper per month
   than MS.
 * Is MS easier to use, or more feature rich?

 * Linux is better in many peoples opinions, especially for WordPress
 * I don’t know all the differences. I do know I’ve tried many different software
   packages over the years before settling on WP for everything. Linux was always
   better. Easier to install on, etc.
 * I switched from Windows to Linux, and I recommend that choice
 * I can’t see either really being ‘easier to use’, on a lot of host, th UI looks
   the same, you won’t even notice a difference
