I've used XP from the beginning, though now it's very seldom that I need a Windows machine at all.Arthur (AmeriNZ)http://amerinz.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-41472733200450342752014-04-12T05:36:19.742+12:002014-04-12T05:36:19.742+12:00Ironically, the advent of XP was the time I switch...Ironically, the advent of XP was the time I switched 100% off Windows permanently, so I've only been exposed to that image sporadically in pictures/glimpses of other peoples' screens. Of course, returning to some version of Unix (ie Linux) was like coming home for me. I'd been using Unix since long before there was a Windows. Software development even at Microsoft was, at the time, done mostly on Berkeley Unix (there was one DEC-10 system, as well as PDP-11/45s, racks of M68k-based boxes, maybe Vaxen- don't remember for sure) You couldn't do serious software development on a DOS/Win PC back then. Some of us think this hasn't really changed at all. :)coreplanenoreply@blogger.com
