I have used Microsoft Windows for the longest time...Version 3.1, to be exact, and no I don't feel old saying that. 
And while I understand that people hate Windows, I would just like to say that the hatred for it should not result in not being able to help said users.
I say this because I am having a ton of issues right now with Windows 7 Ultimate, mainly with activation. I reached out for some help on this matter, only to be met with "Linux doesn't require activation", and the ever popular answer "Use Linux".
I admit that Linux is great, as I am using it to run a private server, and I would like to use it on my main machine, but there are a couple of issues with that approach:
The majority of programs I use, don't have a linux counterpart to them. And some of the work I do relies heavily on these programs. A Virtual Machine is also out of the question, as my PC isn't strong enough for that (I've tried).
I'm glad you love Linux, can't say I blame you, but It doesn't mean that we should be so stand-offish towards Windows Users.
If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't give you flack for being a Linux user.

Boobies...They makes me smile.
