"GNU software includes compatibility support for Windows. In my book, that's recommending Windows, encouraging users to use it in favour of free systems." It is quite easy to make such absurd statements when one is willing to dilute the meaning of words like "recommend" beyond recognition, but what is the point? By doing this you are traducing the work of a project that takes software freedom extremely seriously, and insulting the developers who put in the work to make it this way. -d
