Anybody who has ever committed themselves to Linux knows this. They’ve all been burned by Windows. BSODs? Crappy WiFi? Viruses? Malware? Cruddy performance that slows down every day and eventually makes the Windows machine unusable?
Yes, it all happens to people who would rather use Linux. Oddly enough, almost none of this stuff ever happens to people who buy a beige box and just go with it and don’t know any better.
Which leads us to the obvious conclusion: your choice of an OS has nothing to do with practicality — it’s a religion. And, behind every religion, there is a vengeful God.
Apparently the Microsoft God really has it in for loontards, because he punishes them, and only them, every time they dare to touch his tablets. I mean, obviously, it’s personal with Him, isn’t it?
Meanwhile, the other 99% of the world get along quite fine, and without troubling themselves over pointless theological inconsistencies.

Yeah, but on the other hand Linux works completely flawless for them, it never has a kernel panic, all drivers are functioning out-of-the-box™ and you can do Everything™ with it.
I wonder if they are somehow biased…
No!
No no no no no no!
Biased? Of course not.
I’ll give you ignorant and/or insane, though.
Dear Lord, Doctor! Say it’s not true!
Not them! Surely our blessed freedom loving, self declared have-nots are not insane?!
Surely their fair stance is not born of decadence and hysteria?!
No! It cannot be…

Ok, a serious reply is warranted as well.
I think this phenomenon shows two things:
1. Users demand high quality, are vengeful and totally ignorant as to why their problems occur and how to solve them.
and
2. Windows is a software product of extremely high quality.
If Windows was actually bad… well the screaming and yelling would echo to the high heavens.
Also, if angry penguinistas actually knew anything about computers, they would have fixed their (hardware) issues and moved on with their lives, as it is, they’re reduced to flailing around and in their powerlessness they spew venom all around…
Moving on with our lives …
... yes. Not a bad idea, that.
On the assumption that loons actually have the choice, of course.
Oh they do, well assuming their medication works anyway, or that they finally start taking it.
Hm… perhaps such assumptions are a bit much.
