It all depends on what you are doing at work. *Animators*, likes windows or osx why: sound, viewport performance, video capture, quicktime
*Generalist TD*, no preference why: cares only about scripting and I/O performace *TD/Programmers*, likes osx and linux why: actually only cares about terminals. As long as you can work through a terminal *Pipeline TD*, Linux or FreeBSD why: we wish everything worked on freebsd, but we settle for any linux flavor. *Concept Artist*, windows or osx why: Adobe rulez! And wacom just can't get the drivers to work correctly under Linux *Shading TD*, no preference why: as long as the renderer works *Modellers*, Windows or osx why: zbrush and a zillion of photoshop plugins Did I miss anyone? /stefan On Sun, Aug 19, 2012 at 1:17 AM, Andreas Bystrom <[email protected]>wrote: > "You realize that there are still a ton of people that are still running > windows XP, right?
