"I love Windows" does not refute anything. It's just tribalism.
"there really isn't a good excuse to stay with Microsoft" implies that Microsoft is bad, and on HN it's more or less accepted (mostly due to the user tracking and non-flexibility). Of course, there are still reasons to stay with Microsoft, so that argument is far from perfect too.

My post suggests how to find the opinions of actual scientists. It's an actionable suggestion with reasoning unlike yours.

Nobody tells you that your personal decisions are bad. People are just discussing the reasons to choose one system of the other. Bystanders read that and decide for themselves. "I love Windows" arguments do not help anyone to decide.

Let me sum up:
>> There's no good reason to use Windows
> If Windows fits how you use a computer better, then that is a good reason.
That's it, that's all I'm saying. I didn't even say Windows was good. I certainly didn't say I love Windows, because I really don't and you will find many posts by me to back that up.
> Bystanders read that and decide for themselves.
THIS thinking precisely illustrates why I didn't elaborate on why I use Windows. With evangelists it isn't about discussion, or understanding, it's about performing a fucking sales pitch and I'm goddamned sick of it.
