Almost.
You need to remember that I reported to my brother
for about 6 years. He was in charge the of database
group and I was the technical architect. So any
time he started leaning towards a windows solution
for a problem I'd ask if he was going to be
implementing and supporting it.
Not that I don't appreciate the tools on the
desktop. I just don't trust them for any length
of time. I ALWAYS get burned and have to write
around a problem. I'm not allowed to give up
and say something does not work.
My last windows desktop was Win 95. Early Win 95.
And that was for a short while. That is when I
started using a Linux desktop, which really meant
a rudimentary X that I really did not like.
And then KDE came out.
After that, the ONLY time I used Windows was when
I was forced to run a specific app, but I always
had a separate box to run it on.
Since my work was database on Oracle on SCO and
then Solaris, 95% of my time was spent Xtermed into
another box anyway.
About a 1.5 years ago I did a project that used
SQL/Server as the DB, but did all my non-DB processing
on a Linux box.
All Windows query tools that our clients or employees used
on the database are supported by other people. Once the
data was loaded my piece was done.
So yes, I have managed to escape Windows for the most
part.
