Linux is in a league of its own... but the development of Windows over the years shouldn't be discounted. I used to be a linux enthusiast about 7 - 8 years ago... did a lot of sys admin / net admin stuff... ran BIND and WWW servers... even wrote device drivers for Motorolla and trained IBM developers in writing kernel routines. That being said, I always used Windows in parallel - it couldn't be helped cuz of its pervasiveness in the business world. Microsoft did a lot of stupid things along the way over these 25 years, but in the end, they've marketed their product well, and their product features appeal to the average end user.
^ yeah man I have some fond memories from those days - now I feel like I've forgotten everything cuz I haven't touched it in such a long time.
At one point, I was "the" geek linux guy and got a lot of consulting business just based on my skillset from just word of mouth. Alas, I got into management consulting and then started my Ph.D. - so couldn't keep up.
1-embedded OS I made my own OS out of linux binaryies which ran off 32mb flash card on (system on board computer 3" by 5") it only took 9-10mb space.
2-A whole signal/data acquisition system which would capture signals at max 44000/pre sec and display it in oscillator kind of way on pc.(I believe It actually capture ultrasonic waves too )
3-machine vision system, with web cam + V3linux interface
4-Device driver for usb device.(it doesnt do much becase manufacturer did not really supported me)
You asked wrong question from a wrong guy, lolzz
BTW Its my hobby + way of learining.
Your answer is neither here nor there. Answer my question... DID YOU USE LINUX to WRITE YOUR POSTS HERE???
The simple answer to that question is:
Yes, I used linux.
No, I used windows. In that case, stop bongi maaring.
YES dude!
stop getting mad. I am a no windows person. I did use windows because a thing a bought did not have libraries for linux.
Thats why I had to install it.

bahout afsoos huaaa.. uus thing kee na laiqee per...
Anyone remember Windows 3.1? That was truly what made windows mainstream.
yep... my first PC had Windows 3.1 on it - ermm - in 1991/1992. and also once I joined University... I wrote my first C program on the 3.1 platform - this was in 1996.
At my first tech job, they were running their file server on OS/2 (good ole Presentation Manager interface) and later switched to Win NT.
All this seems very long ago, but it's only 10 - 12 years. I guess we've just come a very long way in the last 10 years in terms of computing and all.
