How about the ability to compile code? Are there decent compilers readily
available for Windows? I like being able to write & compile the occasional
fortran program {hic sunt dinosaurs}, and it’s easy to do this on a unix-based
platform like OSX.
If your reasoned arguments fail, I have found that many institutions'
information technology administrators are easily intimidated by a few random
references to unix (Rsync! Grep! Bash!). Such words seem to function as charms
that keep evil spirits (i.e. IT administrators) at bay.
