I always try to keep a few fingers dipped into a current Microsoft system. I'm not a 10xer, my value to a company is in being able to communicate with my coworkers, smooth edges, give ideas, et cetera. The better I can understand what other people are working with, the more valuable I can be. I'm not a "windows person" but I am still able to get around because I can bring my unixy debugging stuff as a general technique. Knowing some Windows is basically like trying to stay current with which "sports" are being played - my coworkers know I'm not really into either, but being able to follow along reduces the impedance mismatch significantly.
