It depends of it you want to be the kind of ham who understands radios and
can build and design them or the kind who would have never remove the cover
off his commercial built radio.    Linux is the best OS for developers and
those who like to build gear.   Windows is better for the "appliance user"
crowd.

One of the best software setups for people who want to understand how this
all works is GNUradio

It comes with a nice graphical drag and drop construction kit
