While discussing how to use Emacs on Windows, please remember that
the other system you're contrasting it with is not Linux.
Linux by itself is not a complete system comparable to Windows. Linux
is a kernel, one component of the system. You must have in mind the
GNU/Linux system, which is a complete system comparable to Windows.
GNU is our work; to call the system "Linux" is to give the credit for
our work to someone who came later and did less. So please call the
system "GNU/Linux" when you talk about it. For more explanation, see
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html and
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html.
Thanks in advance for giving us credit.
