Sometimes you have to deal with it. At home I use Linux, but at the office it's Windows, and
there's nothing we can do to change it. I thought open source wasn't about a given OS, but
rather a philosophy (?). I can develop for Windows (or BeOS or MacOS or whatever) and what I do can
be still open source, isn't it?
OTOH, how can I (or anyone for that matter) change the mentality of a "corporate user"
about open source tools with that other "mentality"? "Being second class?" My
God.
I don't want a flamewar, anyway, but I think it's not the most clever way to establish the
open source movement, IMHO.

Of course I am :^). What compiler do I need? gcc on cygwin or something? I'll have to dust my
old C notebooks :^).
