Because TeX Live avoids the crappy Widows registry, or what?  Nothing
within TeX Live is Linux-specific or platform-specific at all.  TeX
Live just supports ***all*** operating systems which are in use today.
There is absolutely no reason why people shouldn't use TeX Live under
Windows.

Can you explain why Windows users should use MikTeX instead of TeX
Live?  Did you ever try TeX Live on Windows yourself?  If yes, what's
wrong with TeX Live?

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
