Your original mail  said "And what do you define as Non-Linux and why can't 
Non-free softwares be discussed." The implication that other are working out 
is that you meant that we discuss non-linux/non-free software dedicatedly. 
Nobody here has any problem with relevant comparison with behaviors in other 
OSes. 

In other words, it is probably ok to ask questions like "this NIC is working 
flawlessly in windows, how do I make it work on Linux". But it is not proper 
to ask questions like "I cant boot in Windows. Can someone help me?".

It is even ok to questions like "how do I get emacs on Windows to save my 
custom preferences." (free software).
