Yeah, I have the chance to compare it directly. Coming from pure Linux dev I am now on multiplatform Linux and Windows. And even though the code is 99% C++ and identical, I waste an incredible amount of time on such crap. Lib incompatibilities, build errors, libs that still linger around and are not actually replaced when restarting, debug vs release build and dependent libs and so on. When I first started to dev on that MS platform I tried to approach open minded and without much regards to all that preconcieved MS-is-bad attitude but now, half a year later, I am astonished every day at just how bad Windows as an application platform really is. I couldn't believe it and I absolutely don't understand why MS insists in making life so hard for developers. It practically forces the good guys and those who have a choice to choose something real. Please excuse my off topic rant but it was necessary....
