Comment What about us Windows users (Score 1) 104
Coming from 6 years of being a Windows developer\user and reading this article and others they have certainly opened my eyes to the path that Linux is taking and the possible benefits. I can't help but to feel that i will be left behind as a developer if i don't embrace this OS. Besides, who isn't getting sick of Windoze continuing problems, i seems to spend the majority of my development time looking up bugs and solving problems stemming from the OS and/or products available on it and finding that 1 poorly documented patch/update/work around that will probably solve my problem. The difficulty sems to lie in convincing the powers that be (large corporations)that there is merit in going down this path. I agree with the article, but it's gonna take time for us Windoze developers to come on board, not just because of the closed minds, but also the learning curve. I dare say there are many more windows developers per capita than Linux developers, many of us are reluctant to start using Linux and recommending solutions on this platform simply because we are intimidated by it.
