Why would one want a slow, bloated PDA that crashes often and
does not come bundled in with a decent type setting system that
understands kerning?
I use Windows2000 and Cygwin everyday for work. I have not rebooted my
system in over 3 months. Windows2000 is much more stable than Win95/98
and Cygwin is very useful indeed. Having said that, I am a big Debian
Linux fan and it is much faster that the Windows/Cygwin combo. It's
horses for courses. If most of your apps are unix based then Linux is
the way to go, if not then Windows/Cygwin may be suitable.
