Derrell:

I am only using WinXP because it satisfies most of my needs.

On the programming side I wouldn't touch MS products with a ten-foot pole!

I have used mostly Unix-style programming since university and that's what I prefer to work with. C and C++ are my main choices to experiment in.

Prior to using windows I used the AmigaOS and loved it. I really felt comfortable there, just that with the demise of the hardware, the choice was windows or MAC. I chose windows and that's why I'm in this quandry!

Oh well, my most recent computer at least dual boots with WinXP and Ubuntu 8.04 so there is light at the end of the tunnel...

Oh, BTW, be sure to check ashkulz's recent post impmake: automated creation of IMP books via the command line for an all linux solution to imp creation.
