Yup. When you want real work to get done, you use Linux/Unix. When you want to play games, Windows will suffice.

Although these days, with Steam approving and greenlighting Linux games at an extreme rate, it may not suffice for very much longer.

Spoken like a true Linux Zealot...

I deal with your type all the time. This is the same attitude they had BEFORE windows took over desktops for $trillions of dollars of revenue

Oh really? My wife and I both make our living doing real work with Windows, for the most part. I suspect that most "work" getting done on today's computers is still done on Windows.

And no, I am not a Windows fanboy, in fact, I still have Gentoo linux installed on one PC. Compiled that one nearly from scratch. I have to admit though that Ubuntu is probably the distro of choice for most regular people.

I have a friend whow is really cheap. They use open office. I use office 2010.

I’m able to get a lot more “real” work done AND enjoy games.

And the last dual boot machine I had was windows and os2 warp. Never again.

Funny about that.

As far as i know, the major CAD programs do not run their Client versions in Linux. Most are Windows only.

Some of us classify CAD and the associated engineering as "real work".

Which is why millions of developers use Windows and Visual Studio and the number of Linux developers using crap like Eclipse number very, very low.
