Besides, although we don't come right out and say it, I personally am of the opinion that most, if not all gnu/linux users in the world, and on this list, are anti-microsoft. After all, having been a user of windblows, and gnu/linux for a few years now, I can't honestly say that I think people are switching from windblows to gnu/linux, because gnu/linux is easier to use than windows is. For anybody else who has used both operating systems for a good while, and is tempted to disagree with that, think back on your first time compiling a customized linux kernel, or on the steps one has to go through to build a piece of software from source , or better yet, on how involved building a gentoo, or a linux-from-scratch system is.
