I don't care. Windows is my arcade. Everyone uses it and everyone writes software for it, often exclusively. Shit just works. Windows respects my time. All the programming environments I could care to use run on Windows.

I'll boot Linux when I want. Occasionally it's useful. But most of the time I use Windows.
