Spoken like a true anti-Microsoft lemming. 
Linux users are more free enterprise revolutionaries at this point IMHO. Microsoft flat out stealing software to integrate into their own OS had me suspicious of them back in the 80s. When they pulled the double license fee blackmail on the hardware/software vendors with Internet Explorer, they lost any hope of gaining my trust.
Competition is a healthy thing & drives innovation & progress. Kudos to Linux for taking on the giant. I was truely bummed when IBM pulled out of the OS development fray.
M$ has their OS shortcomings & Linux has its limitations too, but thank God there is an alternative to being another bleeting M$ sheep.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
