*groan* me? troll?
I can only base this off of my personal experience. But it took
at most 15 minutes to install NT onto my laptop and have networking
and everything configured. It took me more than a short few hours to get
my Linux box setup the way I wanted. Now you could tell me that I'm just
stupid at configuring linux, but it took a long time to recompile the
kernel and take all the crap out of the stock kernel. Plus I have a cruddy
scsi card that has no bios. Windoze liked it just fine but linux all but
refused to use it w/o manual source code edit. Those who remember how
to do that can deal but how 'bout everyone else?
And yes, I'd rather use NT for my dev environment over almost anything else,
'cept perhaps Irix, which has a badass debugger.
