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 :) > Which direction is that then? 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.
