I have Emacs installed on various GNU/Linux and w32 machines.

I use the bug tracker as a means to track how bugs might affect Emacs
installations on different platforms.

In recent times maybe.

Emacs is over 30yrs old and predates both the GNU project and contemporary
notions of `free'. The Emacs we have today wouldn't be here were it not for
users/developers who built and maintained earlier Emacsen for non-free systems.

FWIW prolonged usage/exposure to Emacs on w32 helped me to become and advocate
and supporter of GNU distros and GNU ideals.
