I hate the windows environment, but fortunately I don't do anything
close to the os. I'm a scientific programmer/applied mathematician
writing software in C++. I can live with the environment because of
tools like vnc, smb, sshfs, which let me work in linux or os x for 98%
of what I need to do. I used cygwin for about 3 years but grew tired
of its little issues (still using it when I actually must do something
on a windows machine).
Thanks for encouraging me to submit my resume but even though I hate
Windows, I wouldn't change my job for anything right now.
Best,
Marc
