From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I get what you're saying; a good portion of the issues you encounter on Windows aren't solvable as they are in the design or you have to wait for Microsoft to fix the issues, if they ever do. A lot of the design isn't even for the customer, it's for the advertisers or other interests. That said, you're coming off pretty aggressive and I don't think you'll get many to consider your argument when brought forth in such a manner.
This person I am responding to has no idea what a kernel is. That said, he or she should not be giving some questionably authoritative answer (which is clearly wrong.)
So are you going to post that Windows kernel source code? I'll hold my breath.
