Always a big question. I went from IBM mainframes
to Prime supermini computers, to more IBM mainframes,
to PC/DOS, and OS/2. Then to Windows was natural
enough.
Some of the work by Microsoft is good.
Microsoft has a lot of customers doing
important computing which means that
it's possible to make their stuff work.
There are a lot of programmers posting
problem fixes on-line.
I don't know enough about Linux and Windows
to make a good comparison. In the end I
trusted Microsoft's big customers to make
Microsoft make their more serious software
actually work. Yes, once I get some revenue,
for questions I will get a Microsoft
'account executive', expect him to make
things 'right', and call for expert paid support
when things don't work.
