So what did Edward Snowden do knowing his life would be at risk? Trust Apple and Microsoft products or head straight for the GNU?
He spent months teaching Glen Greenwald how to use GNU Privacy Guard. Why did he not instead teach Glen Greenwald how to use for example:
1) An Apple iPad?
2) A Microsoft Windows Computer?
The choice of a man who has both the technical knowledge and the insider knowledge, and whose life is at risk depending on the choice of software speaks volumes to me.
I am not worried.
Edit: The whole idea of torrenting pirated proprietary software, and then facing the legal consequences of such action becomes completely irrelevant when one can obtain vastly superior Free Libre Open Source Software at no charge that is perfectly legal to use and distribute.

They Cross Referenced IP address information from Apple, Facebook, & Godaddy.
Also Cross Referenced his email information which help lead to his capture.
It makes no difference what OS his local PC was running , IP info would have been recorded no matter the OS.
Email Info, he gave to an undercovered agent which was then cross referenced.
The Gov went after the guy because of the Movies Torrents not because of MS Office downloads.

I guess ignoring the Blazing Facts, helps to make your monero anon religion more believable.
Like ignoring the following tidbit. It always makes me laugh.

Spagni holds a relatively pragmatic view on altcoins.
The Monero developer has told individuals with limited funds to not buy the altcoin.
In fact, he has stated, The most likely scenario is that Monero fails entirely.
