As an educator, your lack of empathy for your (potential) students would greatly concern me regarding your ability to teach people from where they are, instead of what's easy for you. But that's fine, I'd be happy to teach folks who simply want to learn, regardless of what their hardware situation is.

I aded this to page: BTW This is not saying we will not teach you. We still want you to apply. And installing linux on your pc is a great first assignment. Seriously, our teaching style is we through you into a working web company as an intern. If you were to show up for your first day with a windows laptop, your very first assignment would be put linux on it. You will learn a lot doing this. But this thread on hackernews makes it seem like I hate windows people and don't want to teach them. This is not true. Just complete assignment 1 and you can apply.

This is the height of arrogance. I cannot express how offensive it seems.
