FUD
- rbanffy 15y agoActually, I perceive it too. Most Windows developers I meet are doing either Java or .Net - or, even worse, SAP, Oracle or... maintaining legacy VB client server/stuff. That's not a place you would expect interesting things to happen. At least, not for me - I focus on dynamic languages, web frameworks and distributed databases - the interesting stuff can usually be coerced into running on Windows, but it tends to involve things like Cygwin or VMs. If you have to use Cygwin or a VM to do your job, you are really running the wrong OS for the job.

Should corelate with the second poll though.
