Listening to the Voices in My Head

Why is it when you say you're keeping Windows XP on specific computers, you get inundated with unhelpful suggestions about Linux or Macs?

1: I don't want LINUX. It's great you love LINUX, but I have certain programs and hardware that will not, and cannot run in LINUX, even using a simulated Windows Environment.

2: I wouldn't be going through all the effort of making sure I was getting the last Windows XP updates available if I wanted to run a different OS. I don't know why that is do difficult to see.

3: Also, I don't want a Mac. Again, you like Macs, fine by me! But It's not for me. (yes, I've used them, and no I don't want to again!)
