Does Loving Linux Make Us Dislike Windows?

Today I’m a full-time desktop Linux enthusiast, who is
familiar with dozens of popular distributions. I’d consider myself
very comfortable with Linux on the desktop. What’s interesting
though, is the change in how I view Windows.

These days, I avoid Windows as much as possible since I feel
much more limited with it. Perhaps this is what Windows users
trying Linux feel when stepping outside of their regular computing
routine?

Whatever the issue happens to be for others, I’ve found myself
disliking any non-Linux experience on the desktop. The reasons for
my view of Windows are bountiful. However I can’t say that everyone
reading this is going to agree with them.

Regardless, this is simply a deeper look into what makes me
embrace Linux and avoid Windows whenever I can…even though I own
a Windows 7 PC.
