That is a pretty minor thing to be against. A better way to look at it is that it is and OS that you can configure to NOT do that. Not that that might be useful but there are so many things that other OS's just don't let you do. for getting a programming job being mediocre in a bunch of OS's is better than being really good with just windows. Especially when 'mediocre' in this case means 'power user'
Oh, no, that's not the only problem I have with Unix systems... anyway, I am at "power user" stage, but I consider that less than mediocre.
"Mediocre" means "able to do one third of the things the other Unix guys can do". I honestly do not have time to get competent enough with Unix to do the job right.
