Memory protection in different operating systems
There are very few operating systems that do not use some form of memory protection. CP/M and all variants of MS-DOS lacked it. Even then, early versions of Microsoft Windows implemented memory protection on top of DOS.
Some operating systems that do implement memory protection include
And where does it explicitly say that Windows 3.1 has real memory protection (meaning using PFs).

All that said, we already knew our new little fanboy was wrong, but the real question is this:
If no one would ever take him serious, why does anyone even bother to argue with him anymore?
He already does an excellent job of flagging himself as a useless troll, let's let it go at that. No one will mistakenly take him seriously here...
I won the last battle (I proved my point), so who flags them them self as a 'useless troll'.
But
on another note, Windows was always designed for the simplicity, where
as Linux was designed for stability. And as such Linux will always be
more stable then windows (I can give you tons of articles showing (and often stating) this). Although it may seem like I'm bashing windows, the first comment I made was simply stating that (it was never meant to be flame bait).
Let me make it clear, Windows has some good points (and some bad), but whether it's business or not, Microsoft doesn't want competition (have a look at most things (OOXML comes to mind) Microsoft has produced, and you will see), and as such I don't want anything to do with Microsoft. And we need to recognize what Microsoft is doing, and force Microsoft to make a better product.
Linux ATM, I don't think is grandma ready(still have a lot to go before then), but Linux is getting better and better everyday, and more and more people are switching to Linux (or in the case of Mac, BSD), and making a bigger community (which is it's biggest strength). It's only just become usable in the last couple of years.
