That's interesting. Why do you make that recommendation? Since Linux is my primary platform, I tend to agree. But I learned Ruby on Rails on Windows, as the client at the time had a Windows-only VPN client, their source code control was primarily Windows, and IE6-compatibility was an essential feature. I used the RadRails IDE, which builds on Eclipse. It worked quite well. I know our Python SIG is pretty evenly split between Windows, OS X and Linux. Several of the members use Python and its Win32API and COM API capabilites to automate and manage Windows-native systems. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
