Re:Development on Linux (Score 1)

I completely agree - there is nothing that prevents Windows developers from sharing code. However, the current state of affiars is that a very small percentage of Windows software is released under Open Source, GNU Copyleft, or similar licensing models.

For the record, I am a Windows developer that came from a strong UNIX background. I've seen both sides of the discussion and prefer to use UNIX-based OS's (preferably Solaris) whenever I can. I work on back-end services and I think writing those services is much easier under Solaris than Windows NT.
