Same here. The first thing I do with any new system (Irix, SunOs,
HP/UX, Windows, etc.) is install emacs, gcc, gnat, and co. If
anything, on Windows it is *easier*, since prebuilt binaries are
available. It doesn't quite beat Linux, since those all come with
Linux to start. But then, I can't play Morrowind on Linux either. :-)

I can live w/o MSOffice. In fact, I am living without it at home just
fine (proud StarOffice user here). OSX is still not cutting the
mustard where games are concerned though. As long as Windows is *the*
gaming OS, I'm a Windows user. :-(
