Windows is known to be deliberately backdoored. Schneier has publicly stated he's got the Snowden documents, and has been reporting on them for the Guardian. I can't think of a better need for an airgapped machine. On what planet would he not be being heavily surveiled?
I use all OSes. And it matters _very_ little what OS you use. All that matters is how much resource your adversary is willing to expend to get at what it wants.
And can you back up your claim of Windows being deliberately backdoored? My third statement in this post makes this point moot, too.
RE: Schneier having Snowden documents, I don't know if Schneier's cleared or has access to compartments to view them. If he does not, people would arrive at his doorstep to confiscate them. And since we have not heard Schneier saying MIB have come to his door (which trust me he would since he's a publicity hog) leads me to believe that the US government cares _very_ little for him.

Next you'll be saying Snowden is a fantasist too.
