If you want to nit-pick, I'm the one who initially used the phrase
"forced to use Windows":

and I later gave an example where I had to share a box in a lab. I was
replacing the outgoing Unix admin, with a two-week overlap, and they
didn't issue me an office or a new machine when I started because I was 
to take over the other guy's office and machine when he left.
