The only reason to pay for a Windows box is for game playing and game development ( the later isn't really even true)...if you're really interested in programming and you don't have a corporate budget, i don't see how you could go with anything other that linux or the free unix derivitives. everything you need for any language is free...free CORBA broker too...can't beat it...free
i personally run both. without tfc, i don't think windows would be a priority....
THIS IS NOT JUST A CHRONICLING OF THINGS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST BUT OUR RISE TO POWER.
C'mon, this is a programming forum, everyone should no this or that results in a true or a false, not a this or a that (unless they are true or false).
This code crashed my Win2k as well!Code:#include <stdio.h> void main (void) { for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){ printf ("\t\t\b\b\b"); } }
It crashed because there are more backspaces than tabs...You screwed it up!
Think out of the box! Open Source rules!

When I say crashed, I mean goodnight operating system. Run it.
Really? See, unstable. That is Windows main problem.

Windows is better because I can download it from the internet and not have to feel the pangs of a clear conscience!
And you should program everything on Windows because downloading something legally is not half as thrilling as pirating it!
All generalizations are false

So? BeOS PE is absolutely free also. Although it doesn't come preloaded with free dev stuff, it certainly has it available. You're not the only rebels that have GCC!!! Hehe...
I have yet to here of unrecovable windows crashes, linux on the other hand seems to be able to do that.
I run windows 98 not networked and if I get a crash it is repared with running scandisk, and defrag witch I should do anyways.

How do you define "unrecoverable"? What...when hardware is fried?
>>I run windows 98 not networked and if I get a crash it is repared with running scandisk, and defrag witch I should do anyways.
Oh, I wish it were always this simple. I've seen loads of crashes where Fdisk->Reformat->Reinstall has been the easiest way forward. I always like to restart from scratch if it looks as though the OS has been damaged/corrupted. Its easy when you have done it so many times. As long as data files are sensibly ordered and regularly backedup, there shouldnt be a problem.

No, when it does not work even if reinstaled.
