Isn't it the call of the user whether s/he want to use Winduhs or Linux? In the specific case of this photograph, the user is Ravikant who dual boots between the two. The activity taking place when that photo was snapped had nothing to do (directly) with the Software Freedom Day -- Ravikant happened to be attending the event, and I believe it's his choice what OS he wants to use. Of course, I don't agree with this choice of OS, and I'll mock people who willingly enter into slavery while being aware of the consequences of their choices (as Ravikant is). However from mild ribbing to banning a participant from booting Winduhs in a Free Software event is a long step and one that I, personally, would not want to take.
