It is not a matter of hating Windows, but rather that Linux is a lot less limiting as to what you CAN do in a simple and consistent manner.
Windows is great for people who want to run Windows-only apps, and have no problem living within the strict boundaries imposed by Windows.
But for some of us who like exploring beyond the boundaries and limitations of Windows, Linux is a much less painful system in general. But Linux has more rough edges to deal with than Windows (although they are much less painful with well organized Linux distros such as Linux Mint).
In my case, I use both. On some of my computers I run a Windows XP VM inside Linux Mint. In others I run a Linux VM inside Windows 7. On my primary machine at this moment (quad-SLI Core i7 3770k with 32GB RAM) I am running Windows XP and Linux Mint in side-by-side VMs on top of Windows 7 (soon to be upgraded to Windows 8). I just finished building a dual Xeon quad core (8-core) server with ECC RAM (for reliability), and I have not yet decided what to use for the base OS. I am leaning toward Linux Mint. At the moment that computer is running diagnostics from a live CD bootable distro (as recommended by
knc1 above, for running fastboot)...
Just because somebody does not use Windows does not mean that they hate it, and it certainly
DOES NOT mean that your trust in them may be misplaced (as seems to be implied by your post). Linux hackers often understand the inner workings of Windows better than Windows hackers, and choose not to use it after knowing intimately the strengths and weaknesses of both of them.
P.S. As mentioned in a previous post (weeks ago) I am still waiting to pass 6 million karma before my 5,000th post. This post just burned one of my few remaining posts for that goal. You may have noticed a lot fewer posts by me in recent weeks. Now you know one of the reasons why... This also gives me a chance to work on other non-Kindle things that have been demanding my time (such as my REAL job, and home remodeling started by my spouse). 
It is GREAT that others can help with kindle debricking problems in my absence. Thanks guys!
