No, the majority of knowledgeable geeks will recognise that Windows, like Linux, BSD, OS X etc. has its place. Its place is currently on cheap off-the-shelf desktop machines, because OS X only ships on relatively expensive Macs and and *nix variety (Except for a couple of flavours) is generally intimidating and a bugger to use with no sense of continuity between applications. Whether you use one on your desktop over the other or not is irrelevant, until you can see that for most people Windows is fine and Linux is, for the most part, a server OS you are fucking annoying and should go away.
