Amen. I've settled on Vista as my main OS recently. It's not like I'm some noob. I've used Windows, OS X, and Linux extensively. I understand why others choose differently. I've tried to do RoR on Windows, and it runs like ass. Running poorly and productivity simply don't go together. Moreover, the .NET platform is anything but stagnant. For Web work, you've got an ORM with LINQ to SQL, and ASP.NET MVC in development. I know some people wouldn't touch it at all, but if you're not scared to drink the flavor-aid there's a lot to do and look forward to. [Edit: Grammar]
