Out of curiosity, is there anyone here who uses the virtual machine approach to get unix tools onto Windows? Wouldn't that work much better?
I'm currently using OSX as my development os and I would like to switch to Windows because I do a lot of hardware hacking and often drivers are Windows only. The only things that holds me back are battery life (about half compared to OSX) and command line tools.
- swah 13y agoOf course, Vagrant is great. But does not make Windows a Unix...
- hengheng 13y agoSure, VMWare Player with a shared folder pretty much lets you act with a shell onto a (Windows) directory. I don't know how much this helps you with hardware evelopment though.
- swah 13y agoAlso, at least with Virtualbox, file change detection doesn't work. So if you depend of that to recompile your SASS or something, bad luck.
