You don't listen.
He said that he was prevented from working at his full technical capacity. That's quite different from not having the technical ability to use Windows.

Besides that, if a geek can't "use Windows", what chance does the average user have?

I once transferred a bunch of date residing on a Mandrake Linux server to a Gentoo Box. It took about 15 minutes for the data to transfer.

A few weeks later, I transferred that same information to a Windows 2003 server. It took 1 hour. The Windows Server was not able to handle the incoming data fast enough.

The specs you say? Gentoo: AMD K2-350 with and old 8GB or 10GB IDE hd, 256MB of memory. The Windows 2003 Server: P4-2.4GB, 2 63GB SCSI drives, 2 GB of memory. (No unnecessary services running).

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
