It is easy to get religious about operating systems. We receive emails every week from sys admins fighting the open source cause (though often at the same time forced to work with Windows or Solaris, for example), or MDs happy with their Microsoft environments and telling everyone else to grow up.
Those are two instances. Perhaps to get even more general, we could say there are millions of open source software advocates out there and one big closed source OS backer. That Microsoft is also the most successful OS vendor says something about millions of quiet Windows users. It's what politicians might have once called the Silent Majority.
