I always mention GNU/Linux when people ask for Windows alternatives. Go back and look where I link. It would be more beneficial than your on-the-spot, pop psychology. Its all UNIX to me.
Spare me. I'm getting lectures in "the right tool for the right job" and closed-mindedness from someone who absolutely refuses to recognize that, every once in a while, Windows is the best tool for a given job. Any alternative that lets you avoid MS is preferred, no matter how execrable it is. Please. Who's the closed-minded one here, really?
