"Real" programmers don't make bonehead statements like this. "Real" programmers use whatever it takes to get the job done with the best quality in the shortest amount of time. If you're going to develop exclusively for Windows, you'll find that using the Visual tools (or possibly CodeWarrior for Win) is far superior to cross-developing from Unix. I've done both. It's okay to be anti-Microsoft, but don't let anti-Microsoft politics/feelings impede your business... Get your job done first.
