If you just keep a virgin load of windows and don't install many extra 
apps (and tweak your system all the time - like most of us powerpro 
power users do) windows is just as solid is mac or linux. The problem 
with windows, is there are SOOOO many people that make stuff for windows 
that people tend to go....oh, I wish I had something to do _________ and 
a quick google search later will usually find you something you can 
download and install for windows (I'm much better at not doing that than 
I used to be thanks to VMware virtual systems I can test software 
inside). Linux and mac, there's just not as much selection out there for 
extra stuff to install. And it's the legacy and bad windows programmers 
out there that do bad things to systems when they install themselves.

Just my $0.02 opinion, and 15+ years of experience :)

Powerpro is certainly one of the big items that has kept me from diving 
into an ubuntu system as my main box (I've been working with Ubuntu in 
work/server space) but there's just things that are missing there. 
Ipod/iphone functionality, syncing calendar/contacts between computer, 
internet and phone etc.


I've heard that Quicksilver

http://blacktree.com/projects/quicksilver.html

has a couple powerpro-like functions, but nowhere near the bredth or 
depth of features. Might be something to look at as a mac person now :)

Thanks for checking in, great to hear from you!
