A user of the MicrosoftWindows platform. Usually much less fanatical than a MacFanatic, using Windows out of necessity. Quite a few have some secret desire to use Linux.

However there are very vocal crowds of WindowsUsers who fear the CommandLine and believe MicrosoftCorporation's products and their clickety GUIs are the epitome of user friendliness. This tends to be especially true for the "gamers" faction among them. They would probably be MacFanatics if they had been introduced to that line of computers before they got used to the way Windows does things and formed enough habits and inertia to despise every system that does things another way.

Do not try to argue with folks of this ilk.

Quite a few of them will eventually discover some KDE app or some such that does what their most frequently used MicrosoftWindows app does, in a similar way. Upon that moment, many of them are likely to spontaneously turn into the worst kind Linux know-it-alls (with no actual knowledge to show for their zealotry). It seems as though Slashdot is a central gathering place for this particular breed of Luser.

Again, never argue with them.

Fortunately, at least a minority of them seems to eventually develop some knowhow and mellow out through constant exposure to Linux.
