I use Windows on my PC, but I wouldn't run my web servers on anything else.

Regards, Ivan

I use Linux for everything except games. Most the games I like are only available on Windows. I switched to linux when I got fed up with MSVC++ and MFC. It is much more pleasant developing applications on Linux. But, it took me several months to get good at using all the various development tools productively.

"I've tried to stay out of the Microsoft debate. If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over the end result is bad," he said.

That's what I call a class guy. Some of the anti-MS crowd could take a lesson.

Personally, Linux is great for a server operating system (where ease of use and easy configurability are not major issues) but terrible at a desktop operating system.

Linux won't be easy to use until 1) they standardize on a single user interface (no more KDE vs. Gnome) and the OS gets Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) automated configuration support.

I'm in the early stages of implementing some linux where I work to replace some Netware servers. I've got a mixed environment of Netware, OS/400, AIX and Windows in all of its variants. So far our small tests have worked out well for us and I am looking forward to using it more. I think we'll save money by dumping the Netware and by converting what desktops I can to linux.
