No, I don't like relying on Windows for things either, hence as much of my suite of software being cross-platform as possible.
I'm willing to go Windows more than Apple simply because, while Windows has a bit of a stranglehold, it's one of apathy rather than malice (like I feel much of Apple's exclusivity and control is.) Windows' hold on gaming and productivity markets is dying as Linux gains a stronger foothold, as it should.
@Shyfer Not gonna lie, I'm surprised this has to be said?

Dungeons and Dragons, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, all the way up through at least 3rd Ed and with continuing themes past that... it has obvious racist and sexist roots in so much of how things are set up, and that's always the first thing I try to throw out any time I run a game.
