Whether or not someone is a *nix advocate doesn't have anything to do
with it.

I know numerous people who have a strong dislike of M$ for various
reasons (bugs, security issues, anti-competitive behaviour, dirty
trick campaigns, etc etc) and most of them have never even heard of
Linux or any other *nix variant.

M$ is a target for peoples dislike for a reason - and it's got nothing
to do with being a *nix advocate.
