Sounds interesting, but I'm not looking for another OS, and I don't have time to play (well, not with another OS anyway). I need to be able to just sit down and get my work done without the OS getting in the way. For me that's Linux. I'm starting a new job in a couple of weeks. They develop in Java using Linux. I wouldn't have accepted the job if I would have been forced to use Windows for development. I guess there's a bit of idealogical elitism coming out there :-) Isn't that supposed to be one of the bad points about Linux users? Ooops.
