If you want to be pedantic, it's "Microsoft? Windows?" to you (although
claiming "Windows" as a trademark is quite absurd). By the same token,
that would be the "GNU/Linux Advocacy HOWTO", to you, unless you're
talking about a specific kernel and none of the software that runs on
top of it....
... or, we could just use every-day colloquial language that everybody
understands, and call 'em 'doze and linux.
