The false assumption I keep seeing being made, though, is that techies wind up choosing Windows because they prefer it.
That is *NOT* the case. I have used Linux as my primary desktop now for almost a decade. Most often, I am required by $WORK to carry a windows desktop. That means they *force *me to do so. Unless you have some specific app that is only available in Win-land, there is no reason to use Windows on the desktop any more, except when brain-dead $WORK demands it. Brain-dead pointy-haired bosses have rejected Linux on the desktop. Get over it. --- Jerald M. Sheets jr.
