Sometimes you have to deal with it. At home I use Linux, but at the office it's 
Windows, and there's nothing we can do to change it. I thought open source wasn't 
about a given OS, but rather a philosophy (?). I can develop for Windows (or BeOS or 
MacOS or whatever) and what I do can be still open source, isn't it?

OTOH, how can I (or anyone for that matter) change the mentality of a "corporate user" 
about open source tools with that other "mentality"? "Being second class?" My God.

I don't want a flamewar, anyway, but I think it's not the most clever way to establish 
the open source movement, IMHO.

Of course I am :^). What compiler do I need? gcc on cygwin or something? I'll have to 
dust my old C notebooks :^).
