Well the nice thing about MS, I'll say as a die-hard Linux user, is that these days, it's very very easy to not be a customer of MS or a user of their products to any great extent. If you don't want to use Windows, you really don't have to: it's very easy these days to just use Linux, and if you insist that you must use Windows because of some software, that's really on you at this point with so much stuff now on the web. No one is forcing you to play Madden MXLVI or whatever the latest Windows-only game is; it's purely a luxury.
