I don't agree at all. Windows is dominant _now_ , but things are changing.
And if you use the same tools on any platform, why should you choose
the _Expensive_ one ? In the last few monthes, the greatest manufacturers
(IBM,Compaq,Dell,Gateway,HP,SGI...) have all unveiled their "linux" plan,
adding support and porting developments.

ported to windows.
