Did it ever occur to you what might happen when a
Windows programmer starts poking around on linux?

I will tell you. I know since I am a Windows
programmer learning linux.

I am in awe of such a clear, clean and well
designed system. The openness of the system
is refreshing. After having spent many hours
trying to reverse engineer binary files and snoop
around APIs I needed but were poorly or
incorrectly documented it is wonderful to be able
to dig though the source code and see what is
really going on. The more I learn, the more
frustrated I get with MS and any proprietary
operating system or software.

You don't realize how bad you have it until
you see how nice the other folks live!

Now, some caveats to the above statements; I
do have a BS in Computer Science and I
program in C++ not VB (No, not with MFC), so
I'm sorry I don't fit into your
prejudiced little box.

Yes, there are poor Windows programmers. Yes,
alot of them use VB and have no idea how an
operating system works. That frustrates me to no
end that they call themselves programmers. My
point is not to lump us all into one bucket and
end up alienating people that could really help.
