Actually, why not be independent of a specific kernel (and the
GNU/Linux debate) by supporting all uses of Free Software and Open
Source Software on any platform? There's some great stuff running on
Windows, think of it as a gateway drug ...

There seems to be a large number of people who have arrived at Ubuntu
first, independently rejecting Windows without fully realising the
benefits of their choice, and there seems to be value in a less
in-depth forum for these people to get together to figure out just
what they have their hands on.
