And you'll have to pay for it, I presume, which is another difference.

- pjmlp 10y agoA Windows license is nothing on a developer budget selling his work. I really don't like this idea that we are expected to be paid, but complain when paying for our tools.
- krylon 10y agoThe problem - to me, as a sysadmin/helpdesk monkey/part-time developer - is not so much the expense itself as the bureaucracy involved. If I want to install CentOS or FreeBSD, all I need is hardware (with one or two spare machines usually at hand, as well as few old ones that got decommissioned) or a VM, and I'm good to go. If I want to install Windows, I need to talk to my boss and explain why I need another Windows license, which can be rather tedious. (If we had an MSDN subscription, that would not be a problem of course, but then the price tag begins to matter.)
