Yippee software hippies! (Score 1)

I'm a CS undergrad student at Dartmouth, an institution that has traditionally been mac-based. It's been 2 years since I've used a mac, though, as most of my classes are now taught with Linux and GNU software. After using the standard development tools that Linux has to offer (g++, cvs, etc.), there's no way I'm ever going back to Microsoft's convoluted and buggy software, despite the almost 6 years of programming experience that I have in the Windows OS. The fact that their software is is only made worse by their strong-armed tactics. I should have a choice of good vs. y software.
