I am not.

I am claiming that the influences which lead people to choose Windows
are waning, with or without GNU.    They are very strong, right now,
but they are as strong as they will ever get and are already starting to
diminish (with or without free software alternatives).

The battle is shifting and GNU should seek -- another chess analogy --
initiative on the new battleground.   Windows "hardly matters" because
there are now bigger fish to fry.
