Since no-one's offered you try using Linux, I'll do that now. Some devices still need some magic in "the udev config file", but most don't.
I'm seeing a big difference in how fast Eclipse launches an app after it's been built, it's much faster on Linux than on Windows (same computer, same Eclipse versions). You can make up for the increased efficiency by trying different distributions, kernels, desktop environments, or figuring out what configuration file controls X, Y or Z that could be easily changed by pointing and clicking on Windows or Mac. Faster launch time is the killer difference for me though. And back to Windows, some manufacturers started posting their ADB drivers to the Windows Update Center, so they install automagically. Out of the devices I have, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc was the first one, and today I saw it with my Galaxy Nexus. The funny (and sad) part is that the adb driver appears to be the same, it's just the PNP ID's that are different. -- K 2012/7/21 JP <joachim.pfeif...@gmail.com> > I figured somebody was going to offer that. > I got a Mac, but this is about my Windows boxen where I need this to > work on Windows. > > But while ranting (;->).
