Actually, my wife had originally suggested that I preface her request
with this:

    Because my husband, Rod Roark, is a committed Linux user, I've
    had little to no choice in what operating system I can use at
    home.  (Rod would argue that I DO have a choice; and technically
    that's correct, however, the fairly  consistently good support
    he gives me is for his favorite: Linux.)

So, you see, the trick is to be not very good at supporting Windows.
This notion of "strategic incompetence" can be applied to other areas
such as cooking and cleaning.  ;-)
