Dichotomizing the world as either UNIX based or Windows is pretty myopic. I want the computer architecture Douglas Engelbart dreamed of. I want a realization of the ideas of Seymour Papert and Brenda Laurel.

We're still after 50 years using Xerox Alto clones fundamentally. What would a, "modern Alto" play like? What if we spent X,XXX,XXX's of dollars to create a, "in to the future time machine" like they did at PARC? What if the project had the high ethics of Bush and Engelbart as an operational paradigm?

...and yes Lisp is the best programming language. Suck it.
