GROMACS will run fine, and do approximately the same under either OS on comparable hardware with the same version of gcc, however for production simulation to be maximally effective you need to arrange for the simulation process not to be interrupted much. This is easier to arrange on Linux than Windows. You certainly don't want to be concurrently using either kind of machine as a desktop, and also you'd prefer not to be logged on to either machine.
