Yah, I too remember my Windows-only days the way I'd remember a 
temporary disability. (I recall to this day: any little thing I wanted 
to do, I'd start off a wizard in Dev Studio. It was kind of a surprise 
for me to find out that all those programs had been written, along with 
plenty more.) Being a user is one thing, but I think a programmer who 
only does Windows is seriously impaired.
