Because I think OS and applications are somehow orthogonal, no ? It is maybe
not in the "spirit" of Windows but it works just fine on Windows too. Why not
use them ? And this way I have the same environement on Linux and Windows
which is good for productivity. Just my 2 cents :)

The same box for developement, office work, image/video processing... In my
compagny it is common for developers to have 2 computers, one with Linux/UNIX
for developement and one for office work (my compagny have made the choice of
Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes). There is not Linux version. Some have tried
some virtual machine like VMWare but it needs a lot of memory and is not that
easy to handle... then MacOSX came... and all this work is possible on the
same box! Give it a try.
