Windows is not free software and does not respect my software freedoms. I strongly believe in free software and whenever possible, I try to use it instead of non-free software. A large part of it is that I don't believe programs can be properly audited and checked to make sure it is free of bugs, both intentional and unintentional. You might argue, "when's the last time you have personally audited a piece of software?" and I would tell you never, but this brings me to another important benefit of free software, and that is the entire community benefits from it: if only a single person audits some software, then the entire community benefits because they now have a greater assurance that it is free from bugs than if it was entirely proprietary. It goes beyond that though, when things are free as in freedom, they can adapt and change long after their original authors are gone, so free programs tend to last longer than their proprietary counterparts. The community also benefits from forking: if you don't like the way a certain piece of software works, you can simply use their source code to form your own project. This reduces duplication of effort and benefits the community because now they have more choice over what software they use, even those members who cannot themselves program. There's a lot of other reasons I believe in free software, but many of them are philosophical and thus probably not terribly convincing to someone new to the idea, but can basically be summed up as the idea that a) it's not nice to your fellow humans to not let them build upon the effort you have expended, as you have built on the effort of other people, and b) that as a software user I should have the right to make and distribute changes to the software I use.
