Why was http://superuser.com/questions/282397/how-do-you-configure-a-windows-machine-for-a-linux-user closed as too broad?

I can see that it might appear broad. It is broad. But there's a distinction between broad and too broad — broad questions are fine. In what way is this question *too* broad?

The question has two comprehensive answers that cover all the essential points (disclaimer: I wrote one of them). That refutes the assertion that there “good answers would be too long for this format”. As for “too many possible answers”, I don't see it: it *does* require a fair amount of effort to get a good answer¹. (Of course I can imagine any number of *bad* answers, but that goes for every question.)

So why was this question judged too broad?

If this question is indeed too broad, how could it be re-scoped to cover at least the two top-voted answers?
