Speaking as a viciously Unix-infested person, I don't have much sympathy for
that kind of attitude. Everybody makes choices in their lives. I've made a
very deliberate choice to have absolutely nothing to do with Windows; I
believe that this is a professionally responsible choice for me to make, and
has left me much better off. Other people feel differently; let them live with
their choices.

I'd suggest to your Unix-infested colleagues that Windows is its own
punishment, there's no excuse for trying to make Windows' peoples' lives
harder, and even if they wanted to they don't stand a chance of competing with
Microsoft.
