Just for the record, I believe that "those who like living in a world where they are allowed to use their brain" use whatever OS gets the job done for a particular task or task set. Those who are allowed to use their brain, but don't, will often use a pair of pliers as a hammer, because no matter what, their belief is that the pliers are the best tool...even when it takes 10 times longer to bend those pliers in ways that another tool will work with no changes necessary.
