I hate Microsoft Windows. I really do. It is the most tech-user-unfriendly OS among the big 3: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux. Even OpenVMS may be better. I’d rather work on the “Unix with $” OS than on Windows.

To be fair, some of this may be due to a negative bias among the open source development community. However, Windows has more than its fair share of annoying development gotchas than the others. At least one of these has temporarily derailed my Crucible work. I was hoping to have installed at least a rudimentary Crucible framework here at Effluency and begin the migration away from WordPress. But, as I noted, I spoke too soon.

So, I am going to parley my recent membership as an Apple Developer, via the ADC, into a 20% hardware discount of a new Penryn-based MacBook Plus. My time in Windows purgatory is coming to an end.
