I've never actually met a Windows fanatic

Try Golden Eagle. Otherwise known around here as the "brass buzzard".

LOL, Golden Eagle seems to be a blast. He is certainly more anti-open source, anti-libertarian, and certainly anti-liberal.

But does he truly "love" his Windows, or is he just one of the many who have no alternative to Windows and recognize the reality of Windows dominance in "enterprise" deployments.

Even I, a Mac fanatic, recognize that Windows dominance in the large business world is derived entirely from the back end enterprise applications that only run on Windows servers and only interface with Windows software. Open Source solutions are still several generations behind. And Apple is developing their answer to the business back end enterprise software but they're still at least a year from deployment, assuming they ever release the results of their project. Apple consistently develops more products than they ever release. (The Intel version of Mac OS X was an open secret among those of us who followed the development of Mac OS X up from its humble beginnings.)
