This is pretty much exactly how I feel... I started learning to code in 1988. DOS + Desqview, OS/2 1.x, OS/2 2.x, Some Early '90s Unix with 2 3foot x 3foot boxes of documentation... Texas A and M Linux, Yggdrasil... In all that time I used and tried to function with Windows, starting with 3.x. It didn't really work for me. Add to that the bundled aspect (which pissed me off greatly, I had to pay for a DOS/Windows license only to wipe the machine and install OS/2 or Linux) I spent ~$2000 with Microsoft for their OS/2 SDK only to have it abandoned a short time later with no refund available. Microsoft has earned my dislike. But still, it's hard to get a quality laptop without Windows, unless you want to way overpay for Apple or deal with not getting exactly what you want (Linux based laptops). Microsoft has, without a doubt, the best overall bunch of development tools but feels the need to break things every year or two... sigh Idiot child indeed. :)
