And it doesn't have to be one or the other. My current favorite platform is
a dual boot PC with (NT4/W2000) and Linux. This gives the best of both
worlds, and you only need a single box on the desk.
You can use MS Office to do all the usual corporate stuff (Staroffice
isn't quite there yet), then hit ctrl-alt-del, and you have all the good old
Unix "pigs in mud" Makefiles, CVS, editors, shell scripts and more. I do
most Ada programming on Linux.
I see this as being a common arrangement in coming years.
