Depends what you mean by "cultures".
When I'm on Linux, there's a lot I miss about Windows (e.g. double-clicking on an MSI instead of futzing around with RPM dependencies) and when I use Windows I miss Linuxy things (yes, I've heard of Cygwin, but that's not part of Windows culture by any means).
If by "culture" you mean the old-school, diehard ESRs, I agree with him. If you mean the average Linux user, I disagree.
